What are the basic documentation requirements that CMH Waiver providers must meet?
Information necessary to support each item of service reported on the Medicaid claim form. For instance: 1) Full name of child receiving service 2) Name of the service provided 3) First and last name of the staff providing services 4) Full date and time frames/duration of service delivery 5) Signature of staff providing the service 6) Documentation of service interventions that reflect the intent of the service provided 7) Documented progress as a result of the service intervention if applicable to the service being delivered 8) Documentation that reflects what the provider did during the session – not just what the child said or did (e.g. If family and community supports – document the skill development activity and/or staff interventions and how they were implemented as well as how the child responded). Note: There is no “hold harmless” time period regarding potential billing errors.
