Continuity of Support. During the transition to the full scheme of the NDIS, Victorian and Commonwealth Governments will continue existing quality and safeguards arrangements for providers delivering services to older people with disability under the Commonwealth Continuity of Support Programme; including existing approaches to the regulation of restrictive practices. Further detail about the quality and safeguards arrangements for the Continuity of Support Programme during transition in Victoria are outlined under the administrative arrangements for continuity of support as referred to in Schedule D of the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth and Victoria for the transition to the NDIS. 6 MANAGEMENT OF COMPLAINTS UNDER THE NDIS All parties to these arrangements have a role in managing complaints under the NDIS. Complaints will be managed on the premise of: recognising complaints are an important opportunity to improve the quality of services and parties have a responsibility to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for participants; a ‘no wrong door’ approach, supported by warm referrals between parties; supporting resolution at the local/provider level wherever possible; and supporting the right of participants and their representatives to take complaints to independent dispute resolution bodies. Implementation of the approach set out in this section will be supported by the development of protocols between Victorian and Commonwealth Governments, statutory bodies and the NDIA which will be developed or updated for transition as required, and be in place by 1 July 2016. All NDIS registered providers are required to maintain a clear and accessible complaints handling and dispute resolution processes under the NDIA Terms of Business for Registered Providers. In addition, Victorian approved NDIS providers must comply with various legislative and operational policy requirements related to complaints management. Commonwealth approved NDIS providers must comply with complaints processes contained in existing funding agreements. NDIS participants purchasing products and services provided by registered and unregistered providers also have rights and protections under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) including provisions on consumer guarantees, and unfair contract terms.

Related to Continuity of Support

  • Continuity of Supply A Service Order will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. A change to a Service Order will not initiate a new Service Order, or cause the existing Service Order to terminate, unless expressly agreed in writing. In particular, a change to a Service Order that is implemented by the LFC electronically and does not require a physical visit to a site or Interconnection Point will not cause the Service Order to terminate.

  • Continuity of Services A. The Contractor recognizes that the service(s) to be performed under this Contract are vital to the State and must be continued without interruption and that, upon Contract expiration, a successor, either the State or another contractor, may continue them. The Contractor agrees to: Furnish phase-in training; and Exercise its best efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and efficient transition to a successor. B. The Contractor shall, upon the State's written notice: Furnish phase-in, phase-out services for up to sixty (60) days after this Contract expires; and Negotiate in good faith a plan with a successor to determine the nature and extent of phase-in, phase-out services required. The plan shall specify a training program and a date for transferring responsibilities for each division of work described in the plan, and shall be subject to the State's approval. The Contractor shall provide sufficient experienced personnel during the phase-in, phase-out period to ensure that the services called for by this Contract are maintained at the required level of proficiency. C. The Contractor shall allow as many personnel as practicable to remain on the job to help the successor maintain the continuity and consistency of the services required by this Contract. The Contractor also shall disclose necessary personnel records and allow the successor to conduct on-site interviews with these employees. If selected employees are agreeable to the change, the Contractor shall release them at a mutually agreeable date and negotiate transfer of their earned fringe benefits to the successor. D. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for all reasonable phase-in, phase-out costs (i.e., costs incurred within the agreed period after contract expiration that result from phase-in, phase-out operations).

  • Continuity of Care OMPP is committed to providing continuity of care for members as they transition between various IHCP programs and the Contractor’s enrollment. The Contractor shall have mechanisms in place to ensure the continuity of care and coordination of medically necessary health care services for its Hoosier Healthwise members. The State emphasizes several critically important areas where the Contractor shall address continuity of care. Critical continuity of care areas include, but are not limited to:  Transitions for members receiving HIV, Hepatitis C and/or behavioral health services, especially for those members who have received prior authorization from their previous MCE or through fee-for-service;  Transitions for members who are pregnant;  A member’s transition into the Hoosier Healthwise program from traditional fee-for- service or HIP;  A member’s transition between MCEs, particularly during an inpatient stay;  A member’s transition between IHCP programs, Members exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s exiting the Hoosier Healthwise program to receive excluded services;  A member’s transition to a new PMP;  A member’s transition to private insurance or Marketplace coverage; and  A member’s transition to no coverage. In situations such as a member or PMP disenrollment, the Contractor shall facilitate care coordination with other MCEs or other PMPs. When receiving members from another MCE or fee-for-service, the Contractor shall honor the previous care authorizations for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days from the member’s date of enrollment with the Contractor. Contractor shall establish policies and procedures for identifying outstanding prior authorization decisions at the time of the member’s enrollment in their plan. For purposes of clarification, the date of member enrollment for purposes of the prior authorization time frames set forth in this section begin on the date the Contractor receives the member’s fully eligible file from the State. Additionally, when a member transitions to another source of coverage, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing the receiving entity with information on any current service authorizations, utilization data and other applicable clinical information such as disease management, case management or care management notes. This process shall be overseen by the Transition Coordination Manager. The Contractor will be responsible for care coordination after the member has disenrolled from the Contractor whenever the member disenrollment occurs during an inpatient stay. In these cases, the Contractor will remain financially responsible for the hospital DRG payment and any outlier payments (without a capitation payment) until the member is discharged from the hospital or the member’s eligibility in Medicaid terminates. The Contractor shall coordinate discharge plans with the member’s new MCE. See Section 3.7.5 for additional requirements regarding continuity of care for behavioral health services. The Hoosier Healthwise MCE Policies and Procedures Manual describes the Contractor’s continuity and coordination of care responsibilities in more detail.
