- Active Medicaid, program enrollment, approved NJISP, authorization, provider acceptance or self-directed employee status, required agreements, service schedule, and billing route.
Who to contact
Assigned Support Coordinator, selected provider, DDD, and fiscal intermediary when self-directing.
Step by step
- Create a separate row for each service and list every pre-start dependency.
- Confirm the provider or fiscal intermediary has the authorization and can implement the approved service.
- Obtain a specific first-service date or a written explanation of the remaining block.
Expected next
A confirmed start date or a documented, owned dependency with the next action and date.
Save this proof
Enrollment record, approved NJISP, authorization, provider acceptance, employee onboarding, agreements, schedule, and first-service confirmation.
If this stalls or the answer is no
Escalate the exact unresolved dependency to its owner and ask the Support Coordinator to document the unmet need and alternate options.
