Step by step

  1. Prepare a needs-and-goals summary before planning.
  2. Ask that requested services, amounts, safeguards, provider choices, schedule, and backups be documented in the Plan of Care.
  3. Retain submitted and approved versions, BIDD notices, authorizations, and provider referrals.

Expected next

Planning meeting, Plan of Care version, BIDD review or decision, provider referral, or named next step.

Save this proof

If this stalls or the answer is no

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