26 Tex. Admin. Code § 358.313 - Length of Services
(a) The length of
services for a child is based on the child's specific needs but must not exceed
a maximum of 24 months in the HHSC Children's Autism Program in any combination
of Comprehensive or Focused ABA services.
(b) The contractor may provide up to 720
total hours of HHSC Focused ABA services to a child as long as the child meets
the eligibility requirements in §
358.307 of this chapter (relating
to Eligibility). The contractor may not exceed 180 hours within a year of the
first date of service..
(c) The
time-limited services are not affected by any modifications in the contract
between HHSC and the contractors, or a change in the contractor.
(d) HHSC Focused ABA services end
when
(e) Service limits have been
reached when the child:
(1) has received 180
hours of services in a year;
(2)
has received 720 hours before his or her 16th birthday; or
(3) reaches his or her 16th
birthday.
(f) Children
who exit HHSC Focused ABA services with remaining hours of service may reapply
for additional HHSC Focused ABA services based on the eligibility criteria in
§
358.307 of this chapter, the
child's needs, available funding, and the contractor's ability to serve more
children in accordance with §
358.307 of this chapter. These
children are given priority over children on the interest list who have not
previously received services.
(g) A
family may choose to continue receiving services, at the family's expense, from
the contractor after service limits noted in subsection (b) of this section
have been reached. HHSC is not liable for any costs incurred after service
limits have been reached, including any costs incurred by a contractor
providing those services.
