depending on the type of referral. Clients are provided information on community resources and
programs available including private pay options. Persons are directed to those resources most
capable of meeting the need they have expressed to ARC staff. Cases presenting strong
identifiers that indicate the consumer might benefit from publicly funded long term care services
are screened, entered into CIRTS, triaged and provided options counseling. Through
outsourcing, the functions of Screening and Intake may also be performed by the Lead Agency.
DOEA prioritization requirements will be adhered to by both entities, as follows:
APS High Risk Referrals (See section B)
2. Imminent Risk cases will be prioritized for activation after APS High Risk

assessment will determine their ranking on the APCL.

variation and take whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate
disparities may exist when programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or disabled
persons, 45 CFR 803 (b) (6).
9. Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of services
or employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions 3 and 4) and

VI available to their participants, beneficiaries or any other interested parties. This should include
information on their right to file a complaint of discrimination with either the Florida Alliance of
Elder Affairs or the U.S. Alliance of HHS. The information may be supplied verbally or in writing to
every individual, or may be supplied through the use of an equal opportunity policy poster
displayed in a public area of the facility, 45 CFR 80.6 (d).

conduct a self -evaluation to identify any accessibility barriers. Self -evaluation is a four step process:
FT6
CONTRACT KC 1171 page 30
-With the assistance of a disabled individual/organization, evaluate current practices and
policies which do not comply with Section 504.
-Modify policies and practices that do not meet Section 504 requirements.

programs available including private pay options. Persons are directed to those resources most
capable of meeting the need they have expressed to ARC staff. Cases presenting strong
identifiers that indicate the consumer might benefit from publicly funded long term care services
are screened, entered into CIRTS, triaged and provided options counseling. Through
outsourcing, the functions of Screening and Intake may also be performed by the Lead Agency.
DOEA prioritization requirements will be adhered to by both entities, as follows:
1 . APS High Risk Referrals (See section B)
2- Imminent Risk cases will be prioritized for activation after APS High Risk
Referrals have been served. If budgetary constraints prevent opening new cases,
clients will be placed on the APCL. ARC staff will contact the client on a monthly basis
to determine if there has been a change in the client's situation.
3. All other CARES referrals will be screened and prioritized in accordance with DOEA
requirements.
4. Aging Out consumers will be referred by DCF for prioritization and/or
activation in the corresponding aged Program managed by the Alliance, as appropriate
(See section IV).
5. Consumers applying for the Community Care for the Elderly (CCE)
and/or Home Care for the Elderly (HCE) programs will be contacted and screened using
the statewide assessment form developed by the Department of Elder Affairs for this
purpose (Form 701A). If a consumer is being served through a DOEA-funded agency
which enters their annual assessment into CIRTS, the Priority Score generated by that
assessment will determine their ranking on the APCL.
6. Consumers referred for inclusion under the Assisted Living for the Elderly
(ALE) Medicaid Waiver APCL will be interviewed and screened using the 701 A form.
7. Consumers referred for inclusion under the Aging and Disabled Adult
(ADA) Medicaid Waiver APCL will be contacted and screened following the same
procedure as the one described under Section 5. Individuals who appear as potentially
eligible for other types of public assistance will be referred to the Economic Self -
Sufficiency Unit at the Department of Children and Families.
8. All other referrals will be waitlisted and prioritized, during which time other community
resources will be researched, including private pay/fee for services providers.
Consumers on the waiting lists will be reassessed according to Department
requirements (NO1 #062906-1 -I-OVCS 6/29/2006).
B. HIPAA forms will be sent to the consumer as appropriate.

The Fiscal Department will monitor Lead Agency specific spending levels on a monthly
basis to ensure each Lead Agency is operating within its quarterly funding allocation
and/or spending authority. In addition, the department will do cost projections, and
share the information with the Surplus/Deficit review committee to determine slot
availability. The ARC and the Quality Assurance Department will be notified when
funding is available and the number of new cases to be activated by Lead Agency.
12
CONTRACT KC 1071 Page 13
2. Upon notification from the Vice President for Finance of funding
availability, the Aging Resource Center Intake Unit Supervisor will run the Prioritized
Risk Report to identify the consumers on the APCL to be opened.
3. Based on available funding, the ARC Intake Unit Supervisor will refer wait
listed clients to the Lead Agency for activation, in accordance with prioritization
requirements. The Lead Agency will update the wait list enrollment using the appropriate
code to terminate from the APCL.
B. APS Referrals
1 APS Low and intermediate Risk referrals will be screened and prioritized for services as
per the DOEA/APS Memorandum of Understanding. Low and Intermediate Risk
referrals are also offered information and referral to additional community resources,
including private pay as appropriate.
2. APS High Risk Referrals are not waitlisted. They are immediately referred for service
from DCF in Monroe County to the Lead Agency. ARTT referrals will be forwarded
directly the Lead Agency. APS cases are to be served for a maximum of 31 calendar
days. If additional time is justified, the case management agency will staff the case with
the Alliance to obtain the extension needed.
3. Upon receipt of the APS referral, the Lead Agency will coordinate services to begin
within the 72 hour period mandated by statute. A comprehensive assessment will be
done within 72 hours of the referral. Services required under the care plan will remain in
place for a maximum of 31 days, unless an extension has been granted.
4. The Lead Agency will enter ACTV enrollment under their provider number in CIRTS. In
addition, service codes will be entered by service date for all services provided. If a
service(s) is not provided as required under the care plan, an NDP code will need to be
entered in CIRTS and the case notes under the client file should document the reason
for non -delivery of such service(s).
IV. Aging Out Consumers:
A. All "Aging Out" consumers will be referred by DCF for activation in the corresponding aged
program managed by the Alliance.
B. Consumers active in the CCDA and HCDA programs that are turning 60 and are eligible for
CCE and/or HCE will be opened in the corresponding aged program managed by the Alliance if
funding is available. If funding is available, these consumers will be made active. If funding is
not available, they will be waitlisted for these programs but will be given priority for activation
once funding is available.
