HMCDDO Notice of Options Counseling:
As referenced within the HMCDDO Service Access & Provider Change Protocols
Upon notice of approval of funding for new services, the Harvey-Marion County CDDO will provide options counseling and obtain signed, dated choice forms at that time. If individuals desire to have interviews and/or schedule tours in order to make an informed provider choice, follow-up contact will be required to ensure that signed, dated choice forms are obtained at that time.
Upon request of a provider change, person/legally responsible party contacts Harvey-Marion County CDDO (HMCDDO) about a change of service provider. HMCDDO offers option to facilitate problem-solving meeting with current provider, if applicable. HMCDDO provides explanation of service options and available provider choices, and current directory of affiliated providers and current choice form. Person/legally responsible completes, signs, and returns choice form to HMCDDO. HMCDDO sends completed choice form to present and future provider(s), and to the Managed Care Organization Care Coordinator, as applicable..
We strongly encourage all individuals/guardians to contact the HMCDDO to complete options counseling.
