Plan of Service A written plan of services, also known as an “Individualized Care Plan (ICP)” is developed by the HDE and the Waiver participant if the assessment confirms medical and functional eligibility for the HCBS Waiver. The participant may choose to receive home and community-based services from the HDE. At a minimum, the plan of services includes all of the following: • Types of services to be furnished. • The amount, frequency, and duration of each service. • The type of provider to furnish each service. • Participant goals, preferences, and outcomes. • Participant approval of the plan. • The signature of the care coordinator assisting with developing the plan. Care Coordination Through care coordination, a person employed by the HDE, (known as a care coordinator) or a team, (known as an integrated care team), assists MICH enrollees in accessing Medicare and Medicaid services, including medical services and supplies, behavioral health, substance use disorder and/or intellectual developmental disabilities, pharmacy, and Long Term Supports and Services (LTSS), to promote quality, effectiveness, and integration of care. The Enrollee’s HDE is responsible for arranging for planned services to be provided. In addition to coordinating with MDHHS- contracted PIHPs for the delivery of Medicaid behavioral health services, HDEs may contract with downstream providers for delivery of covered services. APPROVED FOR THE 1915 (C) WAIVER Approved for the HCBS waiver means all of the following: • The HDE conducted the assessment. • A person-centered plan of service has been developed. • The participant has been approved for an available Waiver slot.
