Can a child receive A5 supervision (aka eyes and ears service) and remain eligible for the CMH waiver?
It is acceptable for a child on the CMH Waiver to receive A5 supervision (aka ” eyes and ears). A5 is a supportive family centered child welfare service and is not-Medicaid funded. If a child is on the CMH Waiver and also meets one of the triggers to be eligible for A5 (either: DHS doing a child abuse assessment; family meets the age of child, finding and risk status or the child abuse report meets criteria for DHS to offer services and open a case; child is adjudicated CINA, delinquent, or subject of a consent decree) then A5 could be provided. Children on the CMH Waiver who do not meet one of the above criteria for A5 however (no abuse or court history) would NOT be eligible for A5.
