Purpose

This form must be used to summarize Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) services provided to an individual in a calendar month.  Exceptions:

  • Adaptive Aids, Dental Treatment and Minor Home Modifications do not need to be summarized on this form.
  • Community First Choice Emergency Response System (CFC ERS), and Community First Choice Support Management do not need to be summarized on this form.
  • Services that require electronic visit verification do not need to be summarized on this form: 
    • In-Home Respite Services; and
    • Community First Choice Personal Attendant Services/Habilitation provided as a direct service to the individual. This does not include DSA participation in the Service Planning Team (SPT) meeting.
  • Services provided through the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) option do not need to be summarized on this form

The CLASS CMA or DSA timekeeper uses the form to demonstrate verification of the accuracy of the information on the form prior to submitting a claim for the service.

Funds paid to the CLASS CMA or DSA for a submitted service claim may be recouped by HHSC if Form 3625 is not completed correctly or if the information documented on the form does not support the billed claim.

Procedure

Each CLASS case manager or DSA service provider will use a separate form to document the service provided to an individual.

  • Only one individual receiving CLASS services per form.
  • Only one service provider per form - hours worked by two or more different service providers should not be placed on the same form.
  • Only one service type per form – for example, physical therapy cannot be on the same form as nursing services. 
  • Only the services provided in one calendar month per form.
  • CMA Log entries on the CLASS/CFC Documentation of Services Delivered form must be accompanied by contact notes that include:
    • the date of contact;
    • the description of case management provided;
    • the progress or lack of progress in achieving goals or outcomes in observable and measurable terms that directly relate to the specific goal or objective addressed;
    • the person with whom the contact occurred; and
    • the case manager who provided the contact.
  • DSA Log entries on the CLASS/CFC Documentation of Services Delivered form must be accompanied by supporting documentation to account for all activities performed on the shift, if applicable – for example, if a nurse completes an assessment.

Form Retention

This form and the accompanying supporting documentation must be maintained per record retention requirements documented in the CLASS Provider Manual and 40 TAC Section 49.307, whichever is greater at the time the record is created.

This section is to be completed by the service provider identified in Section D(CMA) or Section E (DSA).

Record of Time — For each day when a service was provided, enter the time in and time out for the service provider.

Time should be recorded in accordance with the following:

Section G — Certification

Signature — Applicant, Individual or LAR and Date (mm/dd/yyyy) — The applicant’s, individual’s or LAR’s signature and date is OPTIONAL. The applicant, individual or LAR may sign and date Form 3625 to indicate that the services were provided and are accurate. This signature does not replace the requirement to have a timekeeper verify and approve the accuracy of the information.

Signature — Person Delivering Service/Date (mm/dd/yyyy) — The service provider who provided the service documented on the form signs and dates the form. The service provider must not sign and date the form prior to providing the service. For nursing services, the nurse must include credentials.

If the service provider who delivered the service is not available to sign and date the form, document the reason(s) in the Comments section. The timekeeper must sign and date the form after verifying the accuracy of the information on Form 3625. If the person delivering the service is the timekeeper, then another designated timekeeper must sign and date Form 3625.

Form 3625 must not be signed or dated by the service provider prior to delivering the service.

Signature — Timekeeper and Date (mm/dd/yyyy) — After the service provider makes the last entry on the form, a staff person other than the service provider must sign and date the form as a timekeeper as verification of the accuracy of the information on the form. Verification must be completed prior to submitting a claim for the service.

Note: Claims must not be submitted for reimbursement prior to obtaining both the service provider and timekeeper signature.
