WEEKLY NOTICES OF STATE RULE-MAKING
Public Input for Proposed and Adopted Rules

Notices are published each Wednesday to alert the public regarding state agency rule-making. You may obtain a copy of any rule by notifying the agency contact person. You may also comment on the rule, and/or attend the public hearing. If no hearing is scheduled, you may request one -- the agency may then schedule a hearing, and must do so if 5 or more persons request it. If you are disabled or need special services to attend a hearing, please notify the agency contact person at least 7 days prior to it. Petitions: you can petition an agency to adopt, amend, or repeal any rule; the agency must provide you with petition forms, and must respond to your petition within 60 days. The agency must enter rule-making if the petition is signed by 150 or more registered voters, and may begin rule-making if there are fewer. You can also petition the Legislature to review a rule; the Executive Director of the Legislative Council (115 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333, phone 207/287-1615) will provide you with the necessary petition forms. The appropriate legislative committee will review a rule upon receipt of a petition from 100 or more registered voters, or from "...any person who may be directly, substantially and adversely affected by the application of a rule..." (Title 5 Section 11112). World-Wide Web: Copies of the weekly notices and the full texts of adopted rule chapters may be found on the internet at: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules.

As authorized by the State Legislature, this rule provides for a person to request expedited relief from a suspension of payments.

AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of MaineCare Services (OMS)
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 101, MaineCare Benefits Manual: Ch. II Section 29, Support Services for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities or Autistic Disorder
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2013-P079
CONCISE SUMMARY: The Department is proposing a number of unrelated changes to this rule. The Department is proposing changes to the rule to comply with the concurrent operation of a 1915(b) Non-Emergency Transportation Waiver. These proposed changes to Section 29 will be effective only upon implementation of the 1915(b) Non-Emergency Transportation Waiver. The proposed change to Section 29 includes referencing the regional, risk-based, pre-paid ambulatory health plan (PAHP) Brokerages operating under a 1915(b) waiver approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Under risk-based contractual agreements, the Department will contract with Broker(s) to establish, manage, authorize, coordinate and reimburse the provision of Non-Emergency Transportation (NET) services for eligible MaineCare members. The Broker(s) will be responsible for establishing a network of NET drivers to deliver NET transportation services to eligible members who live in their assigned region. The Department is also proposing a number of other technical changes.
1. The Department is proposing to add language clarifying that, for purposes of initial and continuing eligibility, the annual cost of a member’s services under the Section 29 waiver may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the statewide average annual cost of care for an individual in an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), as determined by the Department. The rule will also clarify that reimbursement for Employment Specialist Services is limited to ten hours per month. Neither of these limits is new; each was included in the waiver application approved by CMS, but had not previously been identified in the Section 29 policy.
2. The website for The Maine College of Direct Support is being updated to a current link and can be accessed on the internet at: http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oads/disability/ds/cds/index.shtml .
3. The proposed rule makes technical changes to language and names when usage has changed or has been deemed inappropriate by the Maine Legislature. Specifically, the changes:
a. Replace references to “mental retardation” with references to “intellectual disability” as required by P.L. 2012, ch. 542, § B(5), An Act To Implement the Recommendations of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council Regarding Respectful Language;
b. Replace references to “Office of Integrated Access and Support” with references to “Office for Family Independence”;
c. Replace references to “Office of Adults with Cognitive and Physical Disabilities Services” with references to “Office of Aging and Disability Services”;
d. Clarify the definitions of Correspondent, Case manager, Intellectual Disability and Autism. This change is to align this policy with services provided under Section 21 of the MaineCare Benefits Manual; and,
e. Remove language making certain provisions contingent on approval by CMS, as CMS has now granted approval.
4. The Department is proposing to add language clarifying that the assessment referral form may be the BMS 99 form currently in use or some other form approved by the Department. This change is in anticipation of a move to a new functional assessment tool, the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS).
5. Requirements for Direct Support Professionals are being added, requiring DSPs to complete four specific modules prior to being left alone with a member.
6. The Department is proposing language requiring providers to put in place an informed consent policy and comply with the Department’s regulations governing reportable events. These are not new requirements, but had previously been included directly in the contracts between the Department and individual providers.
7. The Department is proposing various clarifications to the planning process.
8. The Department is proposing to delete Appendix III and replace it with a more simple statement of the combined limits on Work Support and Community Support in the main text of the rule.
See http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oms/rules/index.shtml for rules and related rule-making documents.

AGENCY: 10-144 - Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of MaineCare Services (OMS)
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 101, MaineCare Benefits Manual: Ch. II Section 113, Non-emergency NET Transportation Services
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2013-P085
CONCISE SUMMARY: On June 6, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) approved a 1915(b) waiver to provide Medicaid non-emergency medical transportation using a regional risk-based prepaid ambulatory health plan (PAHPS). The waiver ends on June 30, 2013, and the Department is engaged in discussions with CMS to extend the transportation waiver. The CMS approval provided that two provisions of Title XIX of the Social Security Act are waived: (1) Section 1902(a)(4)(single source provider); and (2) Section 1902(a)(23)(Freedom of Choice). MaineCare members eligible to receive non-emergency transportation services under this waiver include members who receive home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver programs.
In developing its waiver application, from late 2010 through 2012, the Department had conducted several meetings regarding MaineCare transportation with stakeholders in various forums. The Department met with the Maine Transportation Association multiple times, presented information to the MaineCare Advisory Committee at monthly meetings throughout the process, consulted with the Federally Recognized Tribes, as well as conducting multiple stakeholder meetings pertaining to the RFP. These meetings included meeting with advocacy groups such as Speak Up for Us, with the local transportation companies and also internal stakeholders in the Maine Department of Transportation.
The Department issued an RFP for this transportation waiver services, and is concluding contracts with several entities, who are known as “Brokers”, and who will provide MaineCare transportation services regionally, throughout the state. The Department will reimburse the Brokers on a per member/per month fee. The Brokers will be responsible for establishing a network of Drivers to deliver the transportation services to MaineCare members who live in their assigned region.
This rule proposes to repeal in its entirety the current Section 113 (Transportation Services), Ch. II and III, and replace it with the proposed rule.
