Continuity of Support. Definition and principles People with disability, their families and carers will be provided with continuity of support that will ensure that the support they receive once the NDIS is introduced will enable them to achieve similar outcomes to the outcomes they were aiming to achieve prior to the introduction of the NDIS. The Parties agree that continuity of support will apply for people resident in an area or part of a cohort that is transitioning to the NDIS if: they receive support but do not meet the NDIS access requirements set out in the State legislation, or are receiving supports that do not meet the definition of reasonable and necessary support in the State legislation; and the funding for this support is attributed to a program/service, that will cease when the NDIS in WA is introduced. The assistance provided to people through continuity of support will aim to support people to live as independently as possible by working with them to reduce their need for supports or to access supports from other systems, where appropriate. Where a person’s support needs are reduced through capacity building work, or are met by other service systems, the assistance through continuity of support will be phased out. The Parties agree that people with significant ongoing needs will be provided with assistance to prevent hardship where this would significantly undermine the person’s wellbeing, or social and economic participation. The types of assistance provided through continuity of support should be flexible because the assistance that best builds the person’s capacity to live independently may be different from the supports the person was previously accessing. The flexibility could, for example, include up-front investments that assist people to live more independently. If a person receiving continuity of support is under 65 years and has had a change in their circumstances and they may meet NDIS access/eligibility requirements, the person can make an access/eligibility1 request to the WA NDIS authority to become a participant at any time. Continuity of Support: People Aged 65 and Over and Indigenous People Aged 50 and Over The Parties agree that: administrative responsibility for people aged 65 and over currently receiving specialist disability services will transfer to the Commonwealth by the end of the Western Australian NDIS transition to full scheme period; and administrative responsibility for Indigenous people aged 50 and over currently receiving special...

Continuity of Support. 27. The Parties agree that continuity of support arrangements are required to ensure that existing clients of specialist disability services who are not eligible for individualised NDIS supports are assisted to achieve similar outcomes to the outcomes they were achieving prior to the introduction of the NDIS. This may include providing access to Information, Linkage and Capacity Building supports.

Continuity of Support. During the transition to the full scheme of the NDIS, Victorian and Commonwealth Governments will continue existing quality and safeguards arrangements for providers delivering services to older people with disability under the Commonwealth Continuity of Support Programme; including existing approaches to the regulation of restrictive practices. Further detail about the quality and safeguards arrangements for the Continuity of Support Programme during transition in Victoria are outlined under the administrative arrangements for continuity of support as referred to in Schedule D of the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth and Victoria for the transition to the NDIS. 6 MANAGEMENT OF COMPLAINTS UNDER THE NDIS All parties to these arrangements have a role in managing complaints under the NDIS. Complaints will be managed on the premise of: recognising complaints are an important opportunity to improve the quality of services and parties have a responsibility to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for participants; a ‘no wrong door’ approach, supported by warm referrals between parties; supporting resolution at the local/provider level wherever possible; and supporting the right of participants and their representatives to take complaints to independent dispute resolution bodies. Implementation of the approach set out in this section will be supported by the development of protocols between Victorian and Commonwealth Governments, statutory bodies and the NDIA which will be developed or updated for transition as required, and be in place by 1 July 2016. All NDIS registered providers are required to maintain a clear and accessible complaints handling and dispute resolution processes under the NDIA Terms of Business for Registered Providers. In addition, Victorian approved NDIS providers must comply with various legislative and operational policy requirements related to complaints management. Commonwealth approved NDIS providers must comply with complaints processes contained in existing funding agreements. NDIS participants purchasing products and services provided by registered and unregistered providers also have rights and protections under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) including provisions on consumer guarantees, and unfair contract terms. Consumer Affairs Victoria provides information and advice and in some cases, dispute resolution for consumer disputes under the ACL

Related to Continuity of Support

  • Continuity of Services A. The Contractor recognizes that the service(s) to be performed under this Contract are vital to the State and must be continued without interruption and that, upon Contract expiration, a successor, either the State or another contractor, may continue them. The Contractor agrees to:

  • Continuity of Coverage When a new employee to the district was previously employed by a SEBB employer and was eligible for SEBB coverage, that employee will have uninterrupted benefit coverage if they are anticipated to work 630 hours or more in the school year. If an employee was not anticipated to work 630 hours in a school year but meets that eligibility criteria during the school year, the employee will become eligible for SEBB benefits and will begin coverage in the month following this establishment of eligibility.

  • Continuity of Care OMPP is committed to providing continuity of care for members as they transition between various IHCP programs and the Contractor’s enrollment. The Contractor shall have mechanisms in place to ensure the continuity of care and coordination of medically necessary health care services for its Hoosier Healthwise members. The State emphasizes several critically important areas where the Contractor shall address continuity of care. Critical continuity of care areas include, but are not limited to:  Transitions for members receiving HIV, Hepatitis C and/or behavioral health services, especially for those members who have received prior authorization from their previous MCE or through fee-for-service;  Transitions for members who are pregnant;  A member’s transition into the Hoosier Healthwise program from traditional fee- for-service or HIP;  A member’s transition between MCEs, particularly during an inpatient stay;  A member’s transition between IHCP programs, Members exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s transition to a new PMP;  A member’s transition to private insurance or Marketplace coverage; and  A member’s transition to no coverage. In situations such as a member or PMP disenrollment, the Contractor shall facilitate care coordination with other MCEs or other PMPs. When receiving members from another MCE or fee-for-service, the Contractor shall honor the previous care authorizations for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days from the member’s date of enrollment with the Contractor. Contractor shall establish policies and procedures for identifying outstanding prior authorization decisions at the time of the member’s enrollment in their plan. For purposes of clarification, the date of member enrollment for purposes of the prior authorization time frames set forth in this section begin on the date the Contractor receives the member’s fully eligible file from the State. Additionally, when a member transitions to another source of coverage, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing the receiving entity with information on any current service authorizations, utilization data and other applicable clinical information such as disease management, case management or care management notes. This process shall be overseen by the Transition Coordination Manager. The Contractor will be responsible for care coordination after the member has disenrolled from the Contractor whenever the member disenrollment occurs during an inpatient stay. In these cases, the Contractor will remain financially responsible for the hospital DRG payment and any outlier payments (without a capitation payment) until the member is discharged from the hospital or the member’s eligibility in Medicaid terminates. The Contractor shall coordinate discharge plans with the member’s new MCE. See Section 3.7.5 for additional requirements regarding continuity of care for behavioral health services. The Hoosier Healthwise MCE Policies and Procedures Manual describes the Contractor’s continuity and coordination of care responsibilities in more detail.
