Purpose

Case managers are required to monitor services periodically during the Individual Plan of Care (IPC) year. The schedule for monitoring services is included in Appendix VIII, Case Manager’s Review Schedule, of the Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) Program Manual. This optional form is available for DBMD program providers to use when conducting case manager reviews. See 40 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Section 42.223 for specific requirements regarding case manager reviews.

Procedure

When to Prepare

The case manager must meet face-to-face with the individual in accordance with the schedule in Appendix VIII of the DBMD Program Manual to:

  • review whether the DBMD Program services and Community First Choice (CFC) services are being provided as outlined in the IPC and IPP;
  • review the individual’s progress toward achieving the goals and objectives described in the IPP for each DBMD Program service and CFC service;
  • determine if the services are meeting the individual’s needs;
  • determine if the individual’s needs have changed;
  • review assessments, evaluations and progress notes prepared by service providers since the previous review;
  • determine if a service backup plan is needed for any services identified as critical to the individual’s health and safety; and
  • determine if a service backup plan, if implemented, was effective.

If the IPP service review is not completed within the scheduled period specified in the DBMD Program Manual, document the reason in the comments section.

Transmittal

The case manager must complete this review and send a copy to the individual/legally authorized representative (LAR) and the Financial Management Services Agency (FMSA), if applicable.
