c. One caregiver training equals one session per participant (FCSP Training for Caregiver). Reimbursement for caregiver training shall not exceed the maximum Medicaid rate for that service as established by the Department.

Access Assistance, Information Services, and FCSP Disaster/Emergency Contacts are not considered billable units of service. Time spent completing those activities must be documented monthly in the Department’s Workforce system. Information Services must be recorded in a web-based data collection system Consumer Group. FCSP Disaster/Emergency Contacts are recorded as Service Delivery in the individual consumer record.
If funding from federal or other sources is not obtained or continued at levels sufficient to allow for the continued provision of services or purchase of supplemental services as indicated on the Caregiver Option Plan, the Plan may be modified (in writing) to accommodate the reduction in funds.
Funds received to provide Older Americans Act Family Caregiver Support Services must be matched with a 25 percent non-federal cash match (federal award divided by 75% multiplied by 25%).
