Brain Injury Program Rule
Vermont Proposed Rule (contains zeroes): 26P001
AGENCY:
Agency of Human Services, Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL)
CONCISE SUMMARY:
The Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) has long relied on policies and program standards to determine eligibility for, and to administer, Brain Injury Program (BIP) services. DAIL now seeks to codify these policies and standards through the adoption of this new rule, which will modernize some definitions, add clarity regarding continued clinical eligibility, incorporate a required Medicaid policy regarding paying legally responsible individuals, insert federally required Electronic Visit Verification, and add an updated Case Management definition, along with a new “Service Broker” service to comply with federally required Conflict-Free Case Management rules. Once adopted, these BIP Rules will be incorporated into the Health Care Administrative Rules, a set of rules for all Vermont Medicaid services, which is maintained by the Agency of Human Services (AHS).
