TX HHS Form 8599. Individual Plan of Care (IPC) Cover Sheet

The TX HHS Form 8599, Individual Plan of Care (IPC) Cover Sheet, is a crucial document that helps solve the problem of creating an individualized plan for individuals receiving home and community-based services or Texas Home Living program. This form should be used when initiating or revising an IPC to ensure that the necessary information is captured and submitted to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

The key features of this form include the required information such as the program type, signed IPC form, written justification for services or refusal of comprehensive nursing assessment, and request to increase Service Category Limits worksheet (for TxHmL program only). The form also includes sections for provider contact information, LIDDA service coordinator contact information (applicable for HCS only), and indication of IPC review.

This form is commonly used in scenarios where an individual's plan of care needs to be revised or updated. It is essential to complete the required fields accurately and submit the form with all necessary supporting documentation to ensure timely processing by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The provider should also maintain the individual's and legally authorized representative's contact information current in CARE screens C12 and C20.
