Request for Services - Modified Approval

The Request for Services committee is limited on the amount and type of information they can change in the request.  If the request contains insufficient information for the committee to render a decision, then they must “Defer” it back to the support coordinator for resolution before a final decision can be made.  However, if the request is complete in terms of criteria and documentation; yet a discrepancy exists on the request’s budget regarding the service code’s dates, rate or units, then the committee is authorized to propose a change to one or more of those items and defer it back to the support coordinator for review.  The support coordinator can, in turn, either accept the changes to the dates, rate or units or submit one counter offer.  If the support coordinator submits a counter offer, then the committee must either “Approve” or “Deny” the request at that point.  No further debate on the issue is possible.

Section 1 - View the Demonstration - The support coordinator creates the Request and submits it to the Committee for Review.  

Section 2 - View the Demonstration - If the Reviewer concludes the service code’s criteria and documentation are satisfactory; yet, some aspect about its Dates, Rate or Units are inconsistent with its supporting documentation, they can turn the request into a “Modified Approval” and defer it back to the support coordinator for evaluation.

Section 3 - View the Demonstration - The Support Coordinator Responds to the Modified Approval by either accepting the changes or issuing a “Counter Offer”.

Section 4 - View the Demonstration - If the support coordinator submits a counter offer, it is first screened by the Reviewer.  If the dollar amount is over $5000 and the request passes muster, the Reviewer places it on the committee’s agenda.

Section 5 - View the Demonstration - After the request is placed on the agenda, the committee can make its final decision.
