Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Health and Family Services
Madison
February 25, 1998
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
1995 Wisconsin Act 27 created s.
46.27 (11g) of the statutes, which requires the Department of Health and Family Services to submit an annual report on its Community Options Program. The attached report describes the persons served, program expenditures and services delivered through the Community Options Program in calendar year 1996.
Community Options is designed to relocate or divert people who need long term care from nursing homes. This is accomplished by offering an alternative package of community services to elderly and disabled persons who are otherwise eligible for Medicaid-funded nursing home care.
The Departments allocates funds to county human service agencies to deliver these community services. In providing services, the county agency may not expend more, on average, than the state portion (about 40%) of the Medicaid cost for nursing home care. The county agency must also maximize funds by accessing any federal funds (Waiver and other Medicaid) available for an individual before using Regular Community Options funds.
The annual report examines program activity for both the Community Options Program and the Community Options Program-Waiver in calendar year 1996.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary, DHFS
Referred to committee on Aging and Long-Term Care.
