Board. This budget assumes no changes in LTC reform.
5. Discuss potential for developing a Medical Assistance certified Comprehensive
Community Services Program (CCS) to serve persons with severe behavioral
disorders: Dawn Campbell, Family and Children's Unit, made a presentation on this
program. This is a recovery based model for persons of all ages with intensive
MH /substance abuse issues. This program would cover the client throughout their
lifetime, it has no age limits. This program is billed through the Medical Assistance
program. There is no state aid to this program, it is all federally funded and county
matched. The targeted certification date is June 2008. Handout from Lockwood
"Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) ".
6. The Self Directed Services Waiver (SDS) as a CMO option in Long Term Care
Reform: Handout by Lockwood. The Department developed a self directed supports
(SDS) waiver application to be submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) on September 4, 2007. CMS directed Wisconsin to provide adequate
choice in a managed care environment in order for Wisconsin to expand Family Care,
and advised us to develop this SDS waiver as the choice option. This waiver will provide
consumers with the option to fully direct their services outside of Family Care.
