Select Service Codes

The process for creating a Request for Services begins with determining whether it will on focus on adding a brand new service to the plan or increasing the rate/units of an existing service (or both).  In order to streamline the data entry process, the service code’s designation as “New” or as an “Increase” is documented when the service code is initially selected in the Request.

Before the support coordinator reaches this point in the process, they should have determined which code is best suited for addressing the person's new need (see Request for Services Procedure).  After that decision is made, they can move forward with entering it as "New" or as an "Increase".  

If the support coordinator intends to decrease or eliminate an existing service on the PCSP Budget as an additional component of the request, they can do so later on in the process (see Enter the Budget Data).  The support coordinator is not required to process criteria or supply documentation to justify the reduction or elimination of a service from the PCSP Budget.

If, after completing their research, the worker believes they have a solid case for requesting a new seXrvice or an increase to an existing service, then they should move forward with issuing the RFS.
