Each affected provider agency and the individual receiving services through the CDS option must keep all corrected IPCs in the individual's case record.

Enter N for New or C for Change in this box on the line of the appropriate service category to be added or revised on the IPC. To delete a service, use C. Do not enter an N or C on an enrollment IPC, renewal IPC or transfer IPC.
16b. Backup Plan — Indicate if the individual requires a backup plan for identified services by placing an X in the appropriate box.
17. Svc. Code — Listing of service codes available through the CLASS or CFC program.
18. Svc. Category — Listing of service categories available through the CLASS or CFC program.
18a. Req. Fee — Enter the total dollar amount of the requisition fee for each specialized therapy. If hippotherapy is being added to the IPC, only include the total cost of services provided by the riding instructor to calculate the requisition fee.
19. Est. Units — Enter the estimated annual service units for each service. The cost of hippotherapy should be the total number of sessions multiplied by the rate for Occupational Therapy (OT) or Physical Therapy (PT) plus the total number of sessions multiplied by the rate for the certified riding instructor.
Example:
For example, if 52 sessions of hippotherapy are added to the IPC and will be provided by the PT, then 52 units are multiplied by the PT rate ($77.43) to equal $4,026.36. In addition, 52 units are multiplied by the certified riding instructor rate determined by the certified riding instructor (e.g., $65.00) to equal $3,380.00. This combined cost of $7,406.36 is reflected as the “Est. Annual Cost” under the service code for hippotherapy (42E).
For an Enrollment IPC, if the IPC begins on the first day of the month, the number of months in the IPC will be 12 months, 52 weeks or 365 days.
20. Unit Rate —Enter the current established unit rate of each service authorized. For service categories 10, Habilitation, 10A, Habilitation – Delegated, 10CFC, PAS/HAB, 37, Supported Employment, and 54, Employment Assistance, enter the rate the DSA is authorized under the Rate Enhancement Contract, if applicable. If hippotherapy is being added to the IPC, the total unit rate must equal the combined unit rate of the riding instructor plus the unit rate of the OT or PT.
21. Est. Annual Cost — Enter the dollar amount of the estimated annual cost for each service authorized. To calculate the estimated annual cost for service categories with established unit rate(s), multiply the estimated units by the unit rate.
For service categories that do not have established rates (for example, 5A, 5B, 10B, 15, 16, 41D, 41F, 42A, 42B, 42C, 42D, 42E and 42F), enter the dollar amount of the estimated annual cost for each service authorized. As noted in 40 TAC §45.613, the cost of specifications for a minor home modification (SVC 41D) is not to exceed $200. If hippotherapy is being added to the IPC on the form, the cost of hippotherapy would be the total number of sessions multiplied by the rate for OT or PT plus the total number of sessions multiplied by the rate for the certified riding instructor. This combined cost would be reflected under the service code for hippotherapy (42E) but would be billed under separate bill codes. The bill codes can be located in the Long-Term Care Bill Code Crosswalk.
22. CFC Support Management — Mark yes or no to indicate if the individual would like Support Management. This service is available to all individuals receiving CFC PAS/HAB.
