- Current service and code, applicable fee schedule, individualized plan, authorization, provider or worker acceptance, vendor status, staffing, schedule, billing or payroll readiness, unresolved conditions, and first-service evidence.
Who to contact
Use DDD intake, the assigned CHOICES Case Manager or Family Support Coordinator, DSS, the provider or Agency With Choice vendor, the complete-notice hearing route, crisis service, or Adult Protective Services route that owns this step.
Step by step
- Identify the current official fee-schedule entry without treating it as a payment promise.
- Reconcile the plan and authorization with service, amount, frequency, provider or delivery method, and dates.
- Confirm provider, vendor, worker, schedule, billing or payroll readiness, and first service separately.
Expected next
Reconciled fee reference, authorization, provider or vendor confirmation, schedule, billing or payroll readiness, or first-service record.
Save this proof
Fee reference, plan, authorization, provider or worker confirmation, staffing, vendor records, schedule, and service proof.
If this stalls or the answer is no
Ask the coordinator, provider or vendor, and DSS which exact layer remains open.
