The purpose of this Administrative Directive Memorandum (ADM) is to update existing requirements for Community Habilitation-Residential (CH-R) services. CH-R services are Community Habilitation services delivered to individuals living in certified residences (Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRA), Community Residences (CR), or Family Care Homes (FCH)). Individuals living in certified residences may receive CH-R services either inside the residence or outside the residence, depending upon the needs of the individual.
On July 28, 2021, OPWDD issued 21-ADM-02 describing the requirements for Community Habilitation-Residential (CH-R) delivered in a person’s certified residence. This ADM, 21-ADM-02R, revises and replaces 21-ADM-02 to add information about billing identifiers and modifiers. These revisions are underlined in red.
This ADM is effective November 11, 2023, at the conclusion of the COVID-19 Appendix K authority.
This ADM supersedes prior memoranda, “Responding to the Day Service Needs of the Medically Frail and Elderly Individuals Enrolled in the HCBS Waiver,” dated December 30, 2010, and ADM 21-ADM-02 Requirements for Community Habilitation-Residential (CH-R) Services Delivered in the Individual’s Certified Residence.
