Step by step

  1. Prepare a needs-and-goals summary before planning.
  2. Ask that requested services, amounts, safeguards, delivery choice, provider or worker preference, schedule, and backups be documented.
  3. Retain submitted and approved plans, notices, authorizations, and referrals.

Expected next

Planning meeting, plan version, approval or revision request, authorization, provider or self-direction referral, or named next step.

Save this proof

Assessments, summary, plan versions, meeting notes, notices, authorization, and referrals.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the Support Coordinator to identify the unresolved request and decision owner.
