How does service availability expansion work?
Service availability expansion is authorized under Section 240.1570 in the CCP rules. It occurs when a client is allowed access to CCP services in a geographic service area in which the client does not reside. Possible reasons for service expansion for a client in an outlying service area include: a determination by the CCU that the needs of the client may best be served by a provider in an outlying service area; the geographic area in which the client resides does not have a provider of the needed services; or services may be provided more conveniently or appropriately by a CCP provider in an outlying service area.
