Title: Rehabilitation Services: State Plan Option (CMS-2261-F)
Abstract: This major rule amends the definition of Medicaid rehabilitative services in order to provide for important beneficiary protections such as a person-centered written rehabilitation plan and maintenance of case records. The rule also ensures the fiscal integrity of claimed Medicaid expenditures by clarifying the service definition and providing that Medicaid rehabilitative services must be coordinated with, but do not include services furnished by, other programs that are focused on social or educational development goals and are available as part of other services or programs. These services and programs include, but are not limited to, foster care, child welfare, education, child care, prevocational and vocational services, housing, parole and probation, juvenile justice, public guardianship, and any other non-Medicaid services from Federal, State, or local programs.
