Purpose
Form 8578-CFC is limited to the Community First Choice (CFC) Non-Waiver Eligibility. Apply the general Form 8578, Intellectual Disability/Related Conditions Assessment (ID/RC), to document information for applicants applying for, or individuals enrolled in, an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Related Conditions (ICF/IID), or one of the Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) Waiver Programs (i.e., Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS), Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD), Home and Community-based Services (HCS) or Texas Home Living (TxHmL)).
Form 8578-CFC is used by a Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authority (LIDDA) to document information needed to:
- recommend an ICF/IID level of care (LOC); and
- demonstrate compliance with federal utilization review requirements.
Procedure
When to Prepare
Form 8578-CFC is completed with information obtained from the applicant or an interested party on behalf of the applicant when requesting an assessment of LOC for CFC. After an individual has an approved LOC for CFC services, this form is completed for each additional LOC action (i.e., annual reassessments or changes).
Transmittal
Certain information from each completed Form 8578-CFC is entered into the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) automated Client Assignment and Registration (CARE) System by a representative from the individual’s LIDDA and is transmitted to the Utilization Management and Review (UMR) CFC Non-Waiver Eligibility unit for review.
Form Retention
The submitting LIDDA must maintain the original of each Form 8578-CFC transmitted and originals of all other applicable forms for six years. The transmitting LIDDA must retain copies for three years past an individual’s 18th birthday, even if the retention period exceeds the normal requirement of six years.
