    • Financial Management Services (FMS) is a service within the Independent Living Waiver that provides administrative assistance on behalf of the participant. Reference MO HealthNet Provider Bulletin Volume 36 Number 26 dated May 2, 2014.

'Duplicate Task/Frequency Exists' error message

Attachments

  • An attachment can now be added to a case regardless of the case status.
  • The attachment subject line defaults to blank. A selection from the subject drop down list is required before an attachment can be saved.
  • Units authorized for the Personal Care - Consumer Directed task of Essential Transportation will now display on both print versions available from the Participant Case Summary screen.

Case Notes

  • Functionality has been changed to combine the contact date and the priority field with the text box when 'Add Case Note' is selected. When save is selected upon completion of the contact date, the assigned priority and the associated case note, the box automatically closes. The newly added note is immediately visible in the Case Notes grid.
