New Provider Service Type:
Home Care Attendant Services
The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS) is introducing a new provider service type, “Home Care Attendant Services” (HCAS) provider, which will permit non-licensed individuals to perform specific “skilled tasks” as a Waiver provider. Providers who work under this provider type must meet certain criteria and be requested/selected by the consumer before beginning services.

My Care, My Choice and
We have, for almost four years, worked with a group of diverse stakeholders to expand consumer choice and control in ODJFS-administered waivers (the Ohio Home Care Waiver, Transitions Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver, Transitions Carve-Out Waiver). These manuals are a direct result of that work. They are permanently available in the "Consumer Handbook / Program Information" box at www.myohiohcp.org.

In December 2010, Ohio Medicaid will replace its 20+ year old Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) for claims processing with the enhanced Ohio Medicaid Information Technology System (MITS). Also included as part of MITS is the new enhanced MITS Web Portal. Progress continues on the development and testing of this new system, which will bring Ohio Medicaid into the 21st century! With state-of-the-art technology and business processes, claims will be processed accurately, timely and in "real time" for providers and other stakeholders.

Attention Providers-Billing Precaution
In the new system that ODJFS is developing to pay Medicaid claims, claims edits will reject billing for procedure codes that are not specifically authorized on a waiver participant's All Services Plan. While the waiver and state plan nursing and aide services are similar, it is important that procedure codes are billed as authorized on the All Services Plans. To avoid claims rejections for inappropriate procedure code billing in the future, providers MUST SUBMIT CLAIMS with only the AUTHORIZED procedure code(s).
