Individually-Based Limitations to the Rules
What are they?
A Limitation is a defined process for proposing a limit to one or more of the HCBS freedoms, rights, and protections of an individual for their own or others health and safety.
Regulatory/Department Updates-1
Individually-Based Limitations to the Rules
When are they effective?
411-004-0040 Individually-Based Limitations (Amended 12/28/2016)
This rule will begin being implemented January 1, 2017. The requirements in this rule must be in place no later than February 28, 2018.
Regulatory/Department Updates-1
Individually-Based Limitations to the Rules
What does the rule mean?
The intent of the rule is to provide a rolling time period for identifying, proposing, and documenting any necessary Limitation.
Beginning in July 2017:
Private Pay – Next scheduled plan review Medicaid – Next annual Medicaid review
Regulatory/Department Updates-1
Individually-Based Limitations to the Rules
What else should I know? Limitations are like restraints, they are a last resort
option after all alternatives have been tried and did not work.
Cannot be proposed for the convenience of the provider
Must be for a significant risk to health or safety
Must be consented to by the individual or legal representative
Regulatory/Department Updates-1
Individually-Based Limitations to the Rules
What if the person does not have the ability to consent?
We are working with stakeholders on a new Bill/Statute (currently Legislative Concept 2180)
This would give authority to use substitute decision makers for the purpose of Limitations only.
If unsuccessful passing new legislation - seeking guardianship will be our only legal alternative.

Why is PSU asking me questions?

Encouragement from OHCA and LeadingAge
To inform providers, policymakers, and consumers about:
Residents – who lives in CBC settings?
Staff – who works in CBC settings?
Community features, policies, rates and fees
To document and understand changes over time
How is the study conducted?
Questionnaires mailed January 2017
Phone calls to those that don’t respond in 3 weeks
Questions developed by PSU and DHS with input from OHCA and LeadingAge
Information collected by PSU is confidential

Summary Collecting information helps DHS, as the licensing
agency, understand who lives and works in CBC settings, and how things change over time
Study findings will be most reliable and impactful if more communities complete the questionnaire
