IPC – Individual plan of care. A written plan that states:

  • The type and amount of each TxHmL program service and each CFC service, except for CFC support management, to be provided to an person during an IPC year
  • The services and supports to be provided to the person through resources other than TxHmL program services or CFC services, including natural supports, medical services and educational services
  • If a person will receive CFC support management
  • Is authorized by HHSC 

Form 8582 The Individual Plan of Care must be completed in accordance with Texas Administrative Code, Title 40, Part 1, Chapter 9, Subchapter N, Texas Home Living Program and Community First Choice, §9.558 Individual Plan of Care and §9.568 Revisions and Renewals of Individual Plans Care, Levels of Care, and Levels of Need for Enrolled Individuals.

Procedure

When to Prepare

The IPC is developed in the following events:

  • Enrollment – After members of the service planning team (SPT) develop a person-directed plan (PDP) for an applicant, the service coordinator and the applicant or LAR develop the proposed enrollment IPC based on the PDP. When the person has chosen a program provider, the service coordinator (SC) must review the proposed enrollment IPC with the selected program provider to negotiate and finalize the proposed enrollment IPC. Prior to the applicant's service begin date, the LIDDA must provide to the selected program provider and FMSA, if applicable, a copy of the enrollment IPC approved by HHSC. 
  • Renewal – Annually, and before the expiration of an IPC, the SPT and the program provider review and revise the PDP and IPC to determine if individual outcomes and services previously identified remain relevant. The SC, in collaboration with the SPT, revises the PDP and IPC in response to changes in the individual’s needs and identified outcomes.
  • Transfer – A transfer IPC is developed by the SPT when someone receiving services from a TxHmL program provider transfers to another TxHmL program provider or is choosing a different service delivery option, either to change from receiving services from the agency option to CDS option or from CDS option to the agency option.
  • Revision –There are two types of IPC revisions:
    • Revision to change the amount or type of TxHmL or CFC services, including an IPC revision to only add or change a requisition fee.
    • Revision to add or change Support Management Only – This type of IPC revision is used to add or change to Support Management if requested. A person must be receiving CFC services to receive Support Management.

The LIDDA SC is responsible for submitting  the proposed enrollment IPC, annual IPC renewals and necessary IPC revisions to HHSC.
