TX HHS Form 1024. Individual Status Summary

The TX HHS Form 1024, Individual Status Summary, is a crucial document that helps solve the problem of tracking individual service plans and plans of care in Texas. This form is typically filled out by a Registered Nurse (RN) to provide a summary of an individual's status, including their date of birth, cost limit, projected cost of services, and program information.

The form requires the RN to identify any services that are causing the Individual Service Plan (ISP) or Individual Plan of Care (IPC) to exceed the cost limit. The RN must also explain why these items or services are necessary and whether they could not be provided in a nursing facility or state-supported living center. Additionally, the form asks about community resources, informal supports, and service options available to the individual, as well as any agency programs, community resources, or alternative living arrangements that have been explored or considered.
