9. Definition: MFP participants living alone and needing supervision can have overnight or enhanced staffing to help support the transition for a limited time. Overnight or enhanced staffing supervision will be provided based on individual needs defined in the person centered plan. Generally this support will be available up to 30 to 45 days, unless extenuating circumstances warrant a longer timeframe. Service Requirements: MFP Overnight Supports provide monitoring and/or supervision during the participant’s normal sleeping hours in the participant’s place of residence. Overnight support does not include hands on services. Overnight support may include 6-12 consecutive, nighttime hours during a 24 hour period. The support period must be at least 6 hours in length but cannot exceed 12 hours. Only one unit is allowed within a 24-hour period of time. The support provider can sleep but must awaken as needed to provide support as identified in the participant’s person-centered plan. If technological devices as pagers or “child” monitoring systems are used, the provider must be competent in the use of the device. Support may be provided up to 30-45 days from the day the participant moves to the community. Support may include:  Monitoring  Implementing the participant’s 24/7 backup  Calling 911 in case of emergency 9 MFP Overnight Supports

Overnight support shall not duplicate other waiver services. Personal care, nursing, and other hands on services should be billed under the appropriate State Plan/CFC or waiver service. Participants residing in an assisted living or a group home are not eligible for this support. This support shall not be paid while the participant is hospitalized, in a nursing home, or in any other situation where the participant can receive this service. The amount of overnight support approved and provided will vary based on the needs of the participant and has a limit within the person-centered plan. MFP Overnight Support cannot be provided by the consumer’s legally responsible relatives or those family members who normally provide the care. 10 MFP Overnight Supports

Assisted Living Selection Form Under the MFP participant portion to fill out: The 3 rd question: In the future would you be interested in moving out of the Assisted Living into a home or apartment yes or no. If yes would you like help applying for subsidized housing yes or no. If the participant in fact marks this as yes, we want to make sure that there is follow through to apply and/or locate affordable housing. The sooner this process is started the better. MFP Cost Sheet The MFP cost sheet should be utilized for all transitions beginning January 1, 2016. 13

14. Other Items How to Bill for Failed Transitions A transition is unsuccessful if The Regional Transition Coordinator begins transition activities based on the date of the approval letter from the MFP program and receipt of “Informed Consent” signed by the participant or guardian and the participant does not move to the community for a minimum of one day. Unsuccessful transitions are those that fail to make it to moving day. Reasons for failure could include withdrawal from MFP, Medicaid/waiver ineligibility, hospitalization, decline, and death. Payment through MFP for an unsuccessful transition will consider factors such as duties performed under this service definition and amount of time spent on the transition prior to move. For example, if the majority of the duties have been completed, payment could be made for an unsuccessful transition. If some of the duties have been completed and an extensive amount of time has been spent, payment could be made for an unsuccessful transition. Payment for an unsuccessful transition will be approved and paid at the discretion of the MFP Program. The agency will directly invoice the MFP Program for the unit amount along with a W-9 if needed. Invoices will be sent to: SLTC-MFP PO Box 4210 Helena, MT 59604 Next Webinar will be Thursday February 11 th at 1:30 p.m. 14
