Section 22-A5800. PURPOSE

 

5800.1This chapter establishes the reimbursement rate for the Independent Mental Health Community Residence Facility Supportive Services.   Establishment of a reimbursement rate will allow the Department of Mental Health (Department) to contract with independent Mental Health Community Residence Facility (MHCRF) operators who enter into a Human Care Agreement (HCA) with the Department to provide additional supportive services for specific consumers at an established rate.

 

5800.2Nothing in this chapter grants to an independent MHCRF operator the right to reimbursement for costs of MHCRF services.  Eligibility for reimbursement for supportive services is determined solely by the HCA between the Department and the independent MHCRF operator and is subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
