Linking or Bundling Services | |
|
Several Questions on the linking or bundling of services. Here are just a few. At the bidder’s conference, it was stated that several of the services are linked in that if a provider proposes to offer certain services, they must also propose to provide other identified services on the continuum. For example, it was stated that agencies proposing to provide pre and post adoption services must also provide adoption child and family preparation services. However, agencies could propose to provide adoption home studies / family preparation alone. Please clarify exactly which services are linked and how and which services can be proposed alone. Where in the service standards does it say if the service is linked to another service? Please list all the services that DCS is mandating as linked to other services. Intensive services are already clearly mandated and do not need to be included in the answer to this question. The “linked” services were not all that clear. Is there an easy way to see what all services are linked? If we do not apply (due to over-sight) will there be some additional guidance on what all is included What specific services are linked? The conference mentioned required service linkages among service standards but the links are not stated in the RFP At the bidder’s conference it was mentioned that some of the Adoption services were “linked,” but it doesn’t say anything in the RFP’s about any Adoption services being linked. Which ones are linked? |
IFPS/IFRS is linked to Home-Based Family Centered Casework Service. Therefore if you apply for IFPS/IFRS you must also apply for HBFCCS. (vise versa not required.) Adoption: It is suggested that if you are an LCPA and wish to apply for Adoption Services that you apply for all three service standards, Child Preparation, Family Preparation and Pre/Post Placement and Post Adoption Services. If you are not an LCPA you can apply for Child Preparation and portions of the Pre/Post Placement and Post Adoption Services.
