Before you start

  • Current eligibility and Medicaid status, assessment and plan, dated change summary, incidents, hospital or crisis contacts, caregiver changes, failed staffing, risks, requested response, and backup needs.

Who to contact

Start with the BHDDH Eligibility Unit or assigned conflict-free case manager. Use the complete notice for an appeal and the BHDDH Quality Assurance hotline or 911 for the applicable safety route.

Contact the BHDDH Division of Developmental Disabilities

Step by step

  1. Send a concise dated change-and-risk summary to the case manager.
  2. Request the specific SIS-A or ANSQ reassessment, S106 emergent request, S109 nonemergent request, plan change, authorization, provider correction, worker action, or crisis response.
  3. Ask for an interim safety plan, written result or notice, named owner, and next-event date.

Expected next

An urgent contact, reassessment, service request, plan or funding review, authorization response, crisis referral, corrective action, or notice.

Save this proof

Change summary, proof, incident and medical records, contacts, interim plan, assessment, requests, responses, and notices.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Use 911 or 988 for immediate danger; otherwise escalate through the case manager, BHDDH, and the applicable appeal or QA route.
