Guidelines for Waiver Paperwork


Guidelines for Waiver Paperwork

 

No White-Out.  Draw a single line through mistakes and initial; do not use White-Out, do not scribble or black out. 

Write Client’s full name (first and last). 

Client or guardian must sign timesheet and mileage sheet.  Do not turn in unsigned timesheets or mileage sheets--they will not be processed until they are signed.   

Client or guardian must sign off on every mileage entry on mileage sheet.   

All signatures must be dated. 

Round to the nearest 15 minutes on all time entries. 

Times listed in documentation MUST match times listed on timesheet. 

Initial all documentation entries and sign all documentation sheets. 

Use the correct timesheet.  Do not use Community timesheets for Group Home clients; do not use Group Home timesheets for clients who do not live in the Group Home. 

Turn it in on time.  All Community Waiver paperwork is due by 10:00 a.m. every Monday morning.  Group Home paperwork is due by 9:00 a.m. every Monday morning. 

Documentation must accompany every timesheet; they cannot be turned in separately. 

**Deliberately or accidentally falsifying timesheets, mileage, or documentation is Medicaid fraud; don’t risk it!  Do not fill out timesheets for work you have not actually completed.  Do not document on work you did not complete.  Double-check all dates and all signatures.**
