Provider Update: July 5, 2016
CD-PASS Designation of Authorized Representative form update
The CD-PASS service option has updated and retitled the Designation of Guardianship, Power of Attorney, and Designation of Authorized Representative form, version 7/20/09. The new form is titled the CD-PASS Designation of Authorized Representative form, draft version 6/9/16, and is available with this bulletin, as well as on the Public Partnerships website: www.publicpartnerships.com .
The purpose of this update is to bring this form into compliance with DHS standards for accessibility and to address long-standing deficiencies within this form. This form is intended to allow ADvantage Members to appoint a person to assist with CD-PASS services and to identify the level of authority that person has been granted. This form is required with Service Plan addendums transitioning Members to CD-PASS, and for all CD-PASS Service Plan reassessments.
Key form updates:
- Definitions of roles are presented on page 1.
- Sections for Legal Guardian, Power of Attorney, and Authorized Representative have been combined to reduce confusion.
- Space has been created to define specific activities that the representative will perform.
- Signature line for Case Manager has been added.
