Webinar Topic:
Service Definitions for the Mental Retardation Waivers (Changes Effective July 1, 2009)
In this 2 hour web-training we will discuss the upcoming changes to the Service Definitions for the Mental Retardation Waivers in Pennsylvania. Service Definitions are descriptions of each service covered under the Consolidated and Person/ Family Directed Support Waivers (P/FDS). Service Definitions provide a standardized definition, unit and billing code for each service. Service Definition revisions made by the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) will take effect July 1, 2009. Between now and July 1, 2009, in Individual Support Planning meetings, ISP teams will be discussing the changes. Join us for one of these web-based trainings to learn about the changes so you can be prepared for your upcoming ISP meeting.
The Partnership will also provide face-to-face trainings on the Service Definition changes early in 2009. Look for upcoming announcements for a training in your area.
