26 Tex. Admin. Code § 260.213 - Service Backup Plans
(a) If an
individual's IPC includes nursing, intervener services, or CFC/PAS HAB, a case
manager must ensure that the service planning team determines if an individual
needs a service backup plan or a service backup plan revision during:
(1) the process of enrollment described in
§
260.61 of this chapter (relating
to Process for Enrollment of an Individual);
(2) each of the reviews described in §
260.77 of this chapter (relating
to Renewal and Revision of an IPP and IPC); and
(3) an individual's transfer from one program
provider to another.
(b)
If the service planning team determines that an individual needs a service
backup plan for nursing, intervener services, or CFC PAS/HAB services critical
to the individual's health and safety, the case manager must document on the
individual's IPP and IPC which services require a service backup
plan.
(c) If a service that
requires a service backup plan will be provided by a program provider, a case
manager must:
(1) develop, with input from the
service planning team, the service backup plan for each service identified as
critical using the HHSC Provider Agency Model Service Backup Plan form;
and
(2) ensure that:
(A) the service backup plan addresses
emergencies, including when the failure of a service provider to appear as
scheduled presents a risk to an individual's health and welfare; and
(B) if the action in the service backup plan
identifies a natural support, that a person providing the natural support
receives pertinent information about the individual's needs and is able to
protect the individual's health and safety.
(d) If a service backup plan is implemented
in accordance with subsection (c) of this section, the service planning team
must revise the service backup plan to address any problems or concerns from
the individual, case manager, service provider, or a person providing the
natural support regarding implementation of the service backup plan.
