(a) The habilitation coordinator must:
(1) provide the designated resident or LAR the names
and contact information of all service provider agencies that are
in the contract area of the designated resident's NF, no later than
the initial IDT meeting;
(2) arrange for phone calls or meetings with the potential
service provider agencies as requested by the designated resident
or LAR;
(3) review the HSP developed in accordance with §368.204(b)(3)
of this subchapter (relating to Process for Service Initiation) with
potential service provider agencies as requested by the designated
resident or LAR;
(4) ensure the designated resident's or LAR's choice
of service provider agency is documented on the Documentation of Provider
Choice Form and signed by the designated resident or LAR; and
(5) notify the chosen service provider agency in writing
and provide a copy of the designated resident's HSP and NF baseline
or comprehensive care plan, whichever is most current, within three
business days after the habilitation coordinator is notified of selection
by the designated resident or LAR.
(b) If the designated resident or LAR has not selected
a service provider agency within 14 calendar days of the initial IDT
meeting, the SPT collectively selects the service provider agency
it believes can best meet the designated resident's needs. The SPT
must actively involve the designated resident in the decision-making
process to the extent possible.
