La. Admin. Code tit. 48, § IX-1127 - Payment Mechanisms
A. The
developmental disabilities director, or designee, may authorize expenditures of
individual and family support funds and shall have final discretion on the type
of payment mechanism, with appropriate prior notification to the executive
director of a LGE as specified by the OCDD.
B. Individual and family support program
supports may be provided through any legitimate and appropriate funding
mechanism authorized by current Louisiana Department of Health (LDH)
contracting or purchasing practices or the policies and procedures established
by a LGE. This may include, but not be limited to, the use of individual
agreements for goods and services, purchase orders (integrated statewide
information system mechanism) for purchase of goods, and contracts for supports
with either individuals or external agencies.
C. Documentation will be required for all
individual and family support funds expended. This may take the form of
receipts for goods or services, time-sheets for service delivery, utility
statements, etc.
D. When an
individual receiving individual and family support services moves to a region
served by a different LGE and the service is still needed at the new location,
the LGEs will negotiate the continuation of the funding of the service in order
to ensure continuity of service.
E.
The support coordinator or community services professional will instruct the
participant and/or his/her family on the means to document delivery of
supports, including providing appropriate billing forms and/or special
instructions, both at the point of initiation of supports and quarterly
thereafter for the duration of service provision.
