Developmental Disabilities Services - Application Procedures - Oklahoma

General

Applications for all services are made through the DDSD area offices. The area office provides case management, service coordination, monitoring, provider recruitment and resource development. The State office staff provides direction and support to the area offices. All community services are delivered through contracts with private agencies and individuals.

ICF/MR

The Department of Human Services Developmental Disabilities Services Division (DHS/DDSD) county office is responsible for taking a new application for Medicaid if an active case is not already in existence. The worker must determine if the individual would be financially eligible for Medicaid benefits.

When DHS/DDSD resources are sufficient for initiation of Home and Community Based Waiver (HCBW) services, the DDSD case manager notifies the DHS county office of the request.

A new application is not required on existing cases when referral is from a public ICF/MR (Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded) or nursing facility for an individual returning to the community. The DDSD case manager verifies receipt of Medicaid benefits and notifies the county social worker of the medical eligibility determination. A case number is assigned if necessary, retaining the application date, certification date and re-determination of eligibility date from the existing case.
