be the leading source of federal funds for respite care. The programs may serve clients
of all ages who are physically disabled, develop-mentally disabled, mentally retarded,
or mentally ill, and clients who have specific illnesses such as
AIDS, or specific conditions, such as head injury.
There are often long waiting lists for these programs. Providers are reimbursed
on a fee-for-service basis and must follow the states reporting requirements.
Medicaids billing system may also
require programs to implement somewhat sophisticated cost accounting procedures.
Questions should be directed to your state contacts. |
