This letter implements the repeal of the provisions requiring finger images and assessments and on timesheets, and the bar on PO Boxes for IHSS providers. It also permits the release of state-level criminal offender record information (CORI) search responses to individuals determined ineligible to be IHSS providers based on CORI information. [Download]
Some wording changes, clarification of a Licensed Health Care Provider (LHCP) and one significant improvement. To remove barriers to verification for those living near the state borders, counties are now given the flexibility to make case-by-case exceptions basis and accept an SOC 873 (or alternative documentation) completed by an LHCP licensed in another state but if they are an approved Medi-Cal provider, and the applicant/recipient has been receiving treatment from them. The Notice also instructs what counties should do if the LHCP fills out the first two questions (need for IHSS) but fail to fill out the details requested in the subsequent questions. The new forms attached to this notice are effective immediately. [Download]
