Can u document health and safety needs and /or assessment outcomes of the individuals that would require awake staffing?
If so then you have a potential MUI not address on the service plan.
Thx

This coming only after one of the individuals had to move into a nursing home and it put the other folks into prior auth. In my opinion none of the remaining individuals services have changed so why should their awake staff get cut?! If any of you have had any success with negotiation on this or would like to chime in I could certainly use the knowledge. I have talked with a few other providers and they seem to agree. Please feel free to call me or email me directly at trresidential@yahoo.com
