24.44 ESTABLISHING MEDICAL NECESSITY The Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) contract agency determines medical necessity for Intellectual and Developmental Disability (I/DD) waiver services. The BMS contract agency notifies the Community Services Manager (CSM) by memorandum of the Notice of Decision, client's name, and the date that medical necessity for I/DD waiver services was established. Medicaid is continued when the case is in hearing status or an extension has been granted by the Office of I/DD waiver services in the BMS due to circumstances beyond the client’s control.
