DDCS LTC and Specialty Unit financial - hearings

If a hearing is received by the LTCSPU forward it using Barcode AHCS Request (DSHS 05-013). This will forward the information to the DDCS financial administrative hearing specialist for processing.

An individual must receive continued assistance, if all of the conditions in chapter 182-526 WAC are met. Advance notice is not required for changes to participation.

Adequate notice is mailed less than ten days before the effective date.

Advance notice is not required to change an individual's participation toward the cost of care, since no reduction, suspension, or termination of services will result. A change in the participation is not considered an adverse action.
