(OCP), is a private, nonprofit association which provides education, advocacy, representation, networking and information dissemination to member agencies that serve Oklahomans with developmental disabilities. Revised 9/01/06 5 OKLAHOMA COMMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 HISTORY Oklahoma Community-based Providers, Inc. (OCP) has been in existence since 1979. You may have known the organization then as Oklahoma Association of Workshops and Community Residential Facilities (OAW-CRF). Now, as then, the member agencies recognized that it was necessary that they combine forces with other community based agencies in order to better serve people with developmental disabilities in Oklahoma. Throughout the years, OCP has confronted many difficult challenges in almost every area of service delivery - contracts, legislation, policy development, advisory boards - to name only a few. When still known as OAW-CRF, the association was the leader in educating state officials, agencies and others about developmental disabilities in order to improve the quality and broaden the scope of services for people with developmental disabilities. In 1990, the membership voted to change the name of the association to Oklahoma Community-based Providers, Inc. (OCP) to better reflect the expanded array of benefits available to association members. The first professional Executive Director was employed in 1991. OCP, from its humble beginnings as a "grass roots" group, has grown into a strong and well-known organization, representing the majority of provider agencies in the State of Oklahoma. OCP holds legislatively-mandated seats on several advisory boards and has been recognized as a negotiating agent for provider agencies. The educational opportunities offered by OCP to professionals and paraprofessionals are unparalleled in both quality and price. OCP consistently and collectively represents the needs and rights of people with developmental disabilities in the State of Oklahoma by combining energies and resources to speak with one unified voice. Member agencies support and assist each other to the maximum degree possible. Networking is a primary function of OCP and, through the monthly newsletters, the OCP handbook, the quarterly conferences and the availability of paid staff, members always have all the latest and most accurate "news" regarding the field of developmental disabilities in Oklahoma. Through its diligent efforts, OCP realizes the ultimate goal of all provider agencies - the betterment of services for people with developmental disabilities.

DHS Values and Guiding Principles Respect We Believe in the human dignity of every person and that each person has a purpose for living. We will treat all people with dignity, promote mutual respect and maximize the personal potential of each person we serve. Family We Believe the family unit is the basic foundation of our society. We will strengthen each family we serve. Accountability We Believe responsible actions enhance all relationships. We will be fiscally responsible in the administration of public resources and hold ourselves to high moral and ethical standards. DHS Vision By 2005, the Department of Human Services will have: An engaged and informed community; DHS will tell the story of improved lives. An informed community will create more productive partnerships. We will promote community values in order to get at root causes, bring public awareness to problems, and change the image of human services. We will change the way the community sees our agency and the way the agency sees itself. Creative solutions to complex challenges; and "The way we’ve always done it" will not suffice in today’s world. We will stretch ourselves and our agency to find creative solutions for the challenging issues facing individuals and families. We will demonstrate service, not only to our external clients, but to our internal clients as well. A technological advantage. OKDHS will operate with greater knowledge, efficiency and effectiveness because we have maximized decision-making and communications technology. Relationships will be enhanced –– client to agency, agency-to-agency, division-to-division, and person-to-person. We will narrow the digital divide, expanding capabilities and providing clients better service. DHS Motto "Stronger Families Grow Brighter Futures" The mission is why we exist. It is the purpose of the organization. We were created to do this. If the mission changes, so does the organization. The values constitute the core of the organization –– its heart and soul. They align our organization so we can fulfill the mission. If the values change, so do the mission and the organization. Revised 9/01/06 64 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 The guiding principles embody the values and guide our actions. The principles are a set of beliefs that guide the behavior of the organization and the people within it. "We value this, therefore we will behave in this manner." Basically, these – mission, values and guiding principles – never change unless the organization changes significantly. The vision is how we look in the future. It is usually specific, expressed in visual and measurable language and has a time frame. Visions change and are renewed or adjusted over time. When mission, vision and values are boiled down to their essence, internal guide words result that have instant recognition for people within the organization. The guidewords are phrases or slogans that help create meaning or image for the organization with its external audiences.

Revised 9/01/06 65 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 Born of the Dust Bowl A Brief History of the Oklahoma Dept. of Human Services Hunger and homelessness may still exist in Oklahoma, but they are no longer the unexceptional fact of life they once were. Children are no longer warehoused in state institutions. The poorest families have access to medical care. Parents who cannot earn enough to support their children have a chance at education and training that was unheard of two generations ago. The 1995 fiscal year was a major turning point for Oklahoma human services programs. Sixty years after Congress passed the landmark Social Security Act of 1935, national debate centered on converting entitlement programs to block grants and giving states discretion on expenditures, and the Oklahoma Department of Human Services had a head start on the nation’s welfare reform package. Selected county offices began testing changes in client earnings, resources, and time-limited benefits under waivers of federal AFDC regulations. Changes were recommended by the Oklahoma Commission for Human Services in a January 1994 report, “Welfare Reform for the 21st Century,” and received federal approval in March 1995. All are designed to increase work incentives and remove roadblocks to independence for AFDC families. Two former DHS components, medical services and juvenile affairs, became independent agencies by action of the Legislature; these actions followed the separation of Rehabilitation Services and the Oklahoma Teaching Hospitals in the previous year. The Department’s original programs began in the Depression year of 1936, a time of desperate human need. Oklahoma voters by a 2-to-1 majority had approved a state constitutional amendment creating the Department of Public Welfare, a nine-member commission, and a director to carry out the mission stated in Article XXV: “the relief and care of needy aged persons who are unable to provide for themselves, and other needy persons who, on account of immature age, physical infirmity, disability, or other cause, are unable to provide or care for themselves...” An early-day social worker made a home visit and found two little boys fighting over a biscuit, the last piece of food in their house. When federal officials questioned Oklahoma’s compliance with residence requirements, the Custer County director led them to a bridge where homeless families had sought shelter from the freezing weather. Dependent, neglected, and delinquent children were housed in segregated state institutions, where care was custodial and sometimes brutal. Oklahoma physicians accepted food as barter for medical care. Since those days, OKDHS has used a mix of state and federal money and mandates to eliminate a tremendous amount of poverty. Starting in the 1950s, new federal requirements and legislative transfers expanded the Department into an umbrella agency for health care, social services, vocational and income maintenance programs. Landmark federal legislation, much of it drafted in Oklahoma, established the Medicaid program in 1966, and the federally financed Food Stamp Program began in 1974. Both opened human services programs to many thousands of Oklahomans who were not receiving cash grants under the public assistance program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Until 1987 Oklahoma’s state funding for human services came from earmarked sales tax, a revenue source which accumulated carryover reserves in more prosperous years. Sales tax Revised 9/01/06 66 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 financing helped meet federal mandates and relieve overburdened state programs as legislators transferred state institutions for children and the mentally retarded, the vocational rehabilitation program, and state teaching hospitals to the agency. Physical plants at the institutions were in appalling disrepair, leading to massive renovation and construction along with intensive staffing and treatment programs. Class action suits in 1978 and 1985 produced mandates for community-based services for children in state institutions and for residents of The Hissom Memorial Center for the mentally retarded in Sand Springs. By 1985 all but two of the children’s institutions had been closed; most of the physical facilities were transferred to the Department of Corrections. Teaching hospitals were transferred to a newly created Hospital Trust Authority in 1993. Hissom residents were moved to community placements by April 1994, while facilities at Pauls Valley and Enid limited residential options and expanded their outreach services to the community. Severe economic hardship returned to Oklahoma in the 1980s after plummeting crude oil prices plunged the state into a major recession. Banks failed. AFDC caseloads broke records. Workers who had migrated from other states during the oil and gas boom years swelled the ranks of Oklahoma’s jobless. Echoing the Depression years, they camped around lake and resort areas until rangers told them to move on. OKDHS workers, placed on furlough themselves, brokered cash grants and social services to keep stranded families going. DHS pioneered work programs for welfare clients: In 1965 the agency used concepts from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration of the 1930s to model its work and training program. Oklahoma was the first state in the nation to require mothers with children under age 6 to register for job training under a waiver of federal AFDC regulations, and it was among the first to implement the JOBS program under the Family Support Act of 1988. As the year ended, computer technology was helping DHS workers deal with increased caseloads and shrinking budgets. The DHS Model County Project will allow workers immediate access to on-line policy, provide statewide tracking on case data—a critical need for Oklahoma’s highly mobile client population—and supply on-line forms to streamline paperwork in the agency’s public assistance programs. Data tracking for children’s services became available statewide as Child Welfare workers began using the KIDS automated case management system, a $30 million project with state-of-the-art technology and 75 percent federal funding. The agency’s official name has changed twice since 1936, in response to federal mandates. It became the Department of Institutions, Social and Rehabilitative Services in 1970 and was renamed the Department of Human Services in 1980, but the constitutional name—Department of Public Welfare—remains, as does the constitutional mandate: “...to promote the general welfare of the people of the State of Oklahoma...for their protection, security, and benefit.” Revised 9/01/06 67 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 Oklahoma Commission for Human Services Established by a 1936 amendment to the state constitution, the Oklahoma Commission for Human Services is a nine-member governing board for the Department of Human Services.

The Developmental Disabilities Services Division (DDSD) provides services to persons ages 3 and up who have a primary diagnosis of mental retardation. Persons served may also have other developmental disabilities in addition to mental retardation such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, etc. DDSD offers a wide array of services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Services are individualized to meet each person's needs. DDSD services are funded through Medicaid Home and Community Based Waivers (HCBW) and through state funds. Individuals who are eligible for the HCBW may select any of the services listed below. Some of the services are funded by state dollars and are available for individuals who are not eligible for the HCBW. The Developmental Disabilities Services Division consists of the State Office in Oklahoma City and four area offices in Enid, Oklahoma City (2), Tulsa and Pauls Valley, and two residential resource centers, Northern Oklahoma Resource Center in Enid and Southern Oklahoma Resource Center in Pauls Valley. Applications for all services are made through the DDSD area offices. The area office provides case management, service coordination, monitoring, provider recruitment and resource development The state office staff provides direction and support to the area offices. All community services are delivered through contracts with private agencies and individuals. HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES SERVICES IN OKLAHOMA Oklahoma first established services for people with mental retardation during the second legislature in 1909 with the creation of the Oklahoma Institution for the Feeble Minded in the city of Enid. After several name changes, the institution became known as Enid State School. The Pauls Valley State School was established in 1907 as a state training school for boys and was operated as such until converted to a state hospital for people with epilepsy in 1945 and to a state facility for people with mental retardation in 1953. In 1959, the 52nd legislature recognized the need for additional beds to serve a rapidly growing population of citizens with mental retardation and appropriated one million dollars for the construction of a third institution on land donated by Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Hissom, near Sand Revised 9/01/06 75 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 Springs. Later, in 1961, an additional 5 million dollars was appropriated to complete construction and fully equip the facility to be named The Hissom Memorial Center. Until 1963, The Pauls Valley State School, the Enid State School and The Hissom Memorial Center, as well as the Taft State Hospital, were operated by the Department of Mental Health and Retardation. On July 1, 1963, these facilities were transferred to the Department of Public Welfare. At the time of the transfer, there were 2,300 residents in the Enid and Pauls Valley facilities, with a total of 709 employees. The Enid State School was extremely crowded with 1,444 children and adults in residence. The Hissom Memorial Center would be licensed for 500 additional beds. To meet the needs of this growing population and to relieve overcrowding at the public facilities, the Medical Services Division of the Department of Human Services began contracting with private nursing homes to provide residential services for people with mental retardation. In 1971, institutional services for children and adults with mental retardation were greatly influenced by the establishment of Medicaid reimbursement to facilities meeting the standard for care as Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR). Regulations required compliance with standards of staffing levels, development of treatment plans, provision of active treatment, use of medications and appropriate physical environment. The state operated facilities as well as many private nursing homes became licensed as ICF/MRs to qualify for the Medicaid reimbursement. The Group Home program, established in 1981 by former first lady Donna Nigh, was the first community residential option for adults with mental retardation. These group homes gave people an opportunity to live in a home setting in the community with a small number of their peers, while receiving training for independent living skills. There are currently more than one hundred group homes around the state. The Robert M. Greer Center became operational April 3, 1989 as a 48-bed unit of the Enid State School. This facility serves a maximum of 52 people with a dual diagnosis of mental retardation and mental illness. On January 1, 1992 the Greer Center began operation as a separate entity although remaining on the campus of Enid State School. In 1992 Enid State School and Pauls Valley State School underwent another name change, and the two were renamed the Northern and Southern Oklahoma Resource Centers. As of April, 1999 there were 418 residents at NORCE, SORC and the Greer Center, with 1,400 total staff members. From 1909 until the 1980’s, Oklahoma’s strategy for serving people with developmental disabilities relied almost exclusively on institutional placement. In 1985, two developments occurred which continue to exert great pressure on the state to de-institutionalize its service program. Revised 9/01/06 76 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 The first was the creation by the Health Care Financing Administration , now known as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), of a home and community-based waiver to the ICF/MR program. This waiver permitted ICF/MR level services to be provided outside an institutional setting. The second was the filing of the Homeward Bound class action lawsuit to compel the state to create community-based alternatives to institutional placements. The resulting court order also required the closure of The Hissom Memorial Center. To comply with the federal court’s 1987 order in the Homeward Bound case, funding was appropriated to create a system of community-based services to serve the 950 members of the Homeward Bound class in community settings. Although there has been no similar mandate to serve people in the community who were not members of that class action lawsuit, the Department has offered these services to residents of the remaining two facilities and the general public as funding allows. Residents of the resource centers who wish to move have been "transitioned" from the facilities into community homes. People in Oklahoma, seeking an alternative to institutional care for family members, began applying for Home and Community-Based Waiver services. These services include residential service options such as: Specialized Foster Care, Agency Companion, Daily Living Supports and Group Homes. Employment programs include: Sheltered Workshops, Community Integrated Employment and Supported Employment. As of June, 2001 there were 2954 people receiving services through the Home and Community Based Waiver. Approximately 950 of those are Hissom class members. In 1992, the Oklahoma Legislature passed the Oklahoma Family Support Act. This bill authorized the Department of Human Services to set up a program which would provide assistance payments to families who wanted to keep their children with developmental disabilities at home. By 1993, the Developmental Disabilities Services Division had in place the Family Support Assistance Payment Program. This program provides a cash payment to families who are raising children with developmental disabilities under the age of 18. As a result of this program, there are 950 children living at home with their families. As of June, 2001, there are more than 5,000 people with developmental disabilities receiving community services through the Home and Community Based waiver or other state funded sources from the Department of Human Services. In August 1999, the Department submitted applications for two new waivers to CMS , and these were approved effective July 1, 1999. The In-Home Support Waivers for children and adults were developed in response to the 1997 study of Oklahoma’s waiting list conducted by Oklahoma State University. This study surveyed the entire waiting list to identify what services people most needed. The findings, based on a better than 50% response rate, showed that 82% of the waiting list lived in their own homes and that the most needed services were for help with daily living activities., respite care, and vocational services. The In-Home Support Waivers will provide a service authorization of $16,950 for adults and $11,300 for children, and the design of Revised 9/01/06 77 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 the program is for the services to be self-directed to the greatest extent possible. With the approval of these waiver programs, the Division believes it has the tools at hand to make rapid progress in serving individuals on the waiting list. Mission Statement "Our mission to enable people with developmental disabilities to lead healthy, independent and productive lives to the fullest extent possible, to promote the full exercise of their rights as citizens of their communities, state, and country; and, to promote the integrity and well-being of their families." FACTS ABOUT: DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND MENTAL RETARDATION WHAT IS A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY? A developmental disability is a term that includes disabilities which occur in the developmental years (before the age of 22). It may be caused by a physical or mental impairment or a combination of both. Developmental disabilities cannot be cured—they are life-long and chronic. Some examples of developmental disabilities include, but are not limited to: mental retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism, Down Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome. A person with a developmental disability will have substantial functional limitations in three or more areas of major life activities: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living and economic self-sufficiency. Not everyone who has a developmental disability has mental retardation. For example, some persons born with cerebral palsy and autism have average or even higher than average mental capabilities. The popular movie "Rain Man", starring Dustin Hoffman, was about a man with autism who had almost genius level memory and mathematics skills, but experienced severe disabilities in many other major areas of his life. A person with mental retardation learns more slowly than others. According to the national ARC, a person with mental retardation is "one who, from childhood, develops consistently at a belowaverage rate and experiences difficulty in learning, social adjustment and economic productivity." The degree of mental retardation a person has affects how much and how quickly he or she can learn. Mental retardation occurs once in every 33 people. Most have only mild retardation. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many Oklahomans have mental retardation because so many are able to function well and live in their own communities. Mental retardation is not mental illness. Mental retardation refers to a person’s capability to think and reason. Mental illness is an emotional disturbance; there may be one occurrence or several Revised 9/01/06 78 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 which can develop at any time in a person’s life. Like anyone else, a person with mental retardation may become emotionally disturbed or mentally ill. CAUSES More than 200 causes of mental retardation and other developmental disabilities have been discovered. Some experts estimate that as many as 1,000 causes remain to be identified. Mental retardation can be caused by environmental factors, genetic factors or a combination of both. Environmental factors include everything that goes on around a person. Those factors could include an infection during pregnancy, a lack of oxygen at birth, encephalitis, meningitis, lead poisoning, alcohol, drug abuse or poor parenting. Genetic factors are specific traits or characteristics a person inherits from both parents at conception. The condition that causes mental retardation can come from one parent or from both—depending on whether the characteristic is a dominant or recessive one. Both genetic and environmental factors can combine to cause mental retardation. Some pregnant women can take certain types of medication and have perfectly normal babies. Others may be allergic to or suffer severe side effects from the same medication and have a baby with mental retardation. CAN MENTAL RETARDATION BE CURED? Some types of mental retardation can be prevented but there are no real cures yet—although researchers continue to search for one. EDUCATION, TRAINING AND THERAPY While people with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities may learn more slowly than other people, they have many of the same hopes, fears, joys, problems and needs that others do. People with developmental disabilities have talents and abilities that should be developed through individualized education, job training and physical, occupational, music, speech and recreational therapies. The end result of education, training and therapy is a better, more normal life for people who have the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else. It is a life that should not be denied to people who have developmental disabilities.

This report does not include people who moved from The Hissom Memorial Center because this group and their outcomes have been described in detail in prior reports. This report reflects extensive data on the 82 people who moved from NORCE and SORC into homes in regular neighborhoods. They are referred to in the report as 'The Movers.' 'Are they doing all right?', 'Are they getting services?', 'Are they happy?', 'What are the qualities of their lives, and are they 'better off' than they were before?"' These are the questions addressed in this report. However, there are also 318 people who remained at NORCE and SORC (the Stayers). This report also asks, "How are they doing?", and, "Can we compare their well-being to that of the Movers?" Interviewers completed 3,359 visits to Oklahomans with developmental disabilities during the 1997 project year. Among those visited were 182 people living in NORCE, 136 people living in SORC, and 95 people who had lived in one of these two Centers in 1992, but who were now in other residential placements. Among the 95 Movers were 13 people who had moved to other large scale segregated facilities called ICFs/MR (Intermediate Care Facilities for [people with] Mental Retardation). These facilities housed 62 people on the average and were generally more like the Resource Centers than community programs. Conroy and Spreat report that their analyses show that the 82 Movers are "better off' in several measurable ways, and "worse off' in none, and that the public cost of serving the Movers is far less than for the Stayers. They show the same kind of analyses for the 318 Stayers, finding that in a few ways their lives have also improved, although not in as many areas or to the same degree as the Movers. Revised 9/01/06 80 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 Finally, they present an analysis of covariance on choice making, integration, and consumer satisfaction, which indicates that, even in a controlled comparison, the Movers are enjoying better outcomes than the Stayers. Conroy and Spreat present the following general conclusions based on their analyses of the data: 1 "That the Movers to community homes are 'better off' than they were back at the institutions." 2 "And yet they require less public money in the community." 3 "In some ways, the Stayers are 'better off' too, but in just as many ways, they are 'worse off." 4 "Controlled comparisons strongly suggest that the best outcomes occur when people live in community-based homes." 5 "Moving people from public institutions into large private facilities is a policy option that requires very careful and skeptical scrutiny." 6 "Moving people from institutional settings into true community homes appears to be a 'win-win' public policy."

(For descriptions of these services, see Support Services) Family Support Assistance payments - This is a cash payment program for families who are caring for children under age 18 at home. In this program, families can receive payments of $250-$400 per month depending on the number of children with disabilities in the home. Families who meet the income eligibility may choose this cash payment in lieu of the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver (HCBW) Services. This program is funded through state dollars. Specialized Foster Care - This living arrangement provides an opportunity for a child to live in a family environment. the family provides housing, food, clothing, training and leisure opportunities to the foster child. This program encourages reuniting the child and the natural family when possible. This program is funded through the Home and community-Based Waiver (HCBW). Adult Companion Program - This is a residential option similar to Foster Care except the goal is to establish a more permanent home for the individual. In this program, an adult with disabilities shares a home with a companion who is not a service recipient. The companion provides all the necessary support and leisure services to the individual as well as transportation. The companion and the individual share all living and housing expenses. This program is funded through the Home and Community-Based Waiver (HCBW). Group Homes - This residential option provides a home-like setting for up to twelve residents, 18 years of age or older. Most group homes serve four to six individuals. The residence is owned or leased by the service provider rather than by the residents. Group homes provide to the residents supervision, food service, training and skill development opportunities designed to lead to increased independence. Group homes also provide transportation to and from work for residents who are employed. Group homes services are funded through state funds as well as the Home and Community-Based Waiver (HCBW). Public Residential Facilities (Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded ICF/MR) - DDSD operates three public residential facilities. These are: the Northern Oklahoma Resource Center and the Robert M. Greer Center in Enid; and, the Southern Oklahoma Resource Center in Pauls Valley. The two resource centers provide 24-hour supervision, training, therapies, health and medical care. Individuals who are age six or older may be admitted to one of these centers if they meet the nursing home level of care Revised 9/01/06 83 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 requirement and when their individual circumstances indicate this type of placement is the least restrictive, most appropriate residential environment available. The Robert M. Greer Center is a specialized facility for people who have both mental retardation and mental illness. VOCATIONAL SERVICES Employment services include prevocational training, job placement and on-the-job training and supervision. DDSD offers both sheltered and community employment services based on individuals' goals and choices. Center-based services (sheltered workshops) - These services allow individuals to work and receive training in a controlled environment with many other people with disabilities. Workers are paid in accordance with individual production and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Services include assessment, training and transitional services leading to community job placement if the individual chooses. Sheltered workshops are operated under the direction of nonprofit agencies which often subcontract with businesses to provide work for the sheltered employees. These services are funded through state dollars and the HCBW. Community Integrated Employment (CIE) - These services are provided in sites typically used by others in the community which promotes individual independence and inclusion within the community. these services include unpaid work experience, job sampling, and training through other entities such as trade schools, Vo-Techs, Junior Colleges and other community groups. these services are state-funded. Supported employment - This service includes job placement, on-the-job training and supervision by a certified job coach in a community integrated work setting. These services are funded through the HCBW. SUPPORT SERVICES Support Services: The following support services are available to persons receiving Home and Community-Based Waiver (HCBW) services. Case management For people who receive services funded through a Home and Community-Based waiver (HCBW) and the In-Home Support Waivers (IHSW), case management is provided by DDSD employees who are responsible for assuring that services to individuals are planned and provided in a coordinated fashion. Case management is also responsible for independent advocacy, brokerage and monitoring activities with, and on behalf of, persons receiving services. (For people who are receiving state funded group home services, sheltered workshop services or state funded supported employment services, more limited case management functions are the responsibility of the provider agency.)

Included are dental examinations and prophylaxis, psychiatric examinations and treatment, skilled nursing services, nutritional services, and specialized medical services (including prescriptions over the three allowed by the Medicaid state plan).

OCA’s ombudsmen provide advocacy assistance to individuals with developmental disabilities, including those who live in the Northern Oklahoma Resource Center Revised 9/01/06 136 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 in Enid (NORCE), the Southern Oklahoma Resource Center in Pauls Valley, and the Greer facility on the NORCE campus; former residents of the Hissom Memorial Center who now live in communities; and former residents with special advocacy needs from NORCE, SORC, and Greer who have transitioned to communities. An ombudsman or advocate is a person who helps individuals resolve problems about services they need or about the quality of those services. Their mission is to provide an independent, proactive voice for all clients to ensure client safety and fair, honest and professional service delivery. OCA’s investigation unit promotes the protection of Oklahoma’s citizens by investigating allegations of caretaker abuse, neglect, caretaker misconduct, and financial exploitation with regard to all children living outside their homes (except for foster home placements and children living with relatives); for residents of the Northern Oklahoma Resource Center (NORCE), the Southern Oklahoma Resource Center (SORC), and Greer; and Hissom Class Members who live in the community. Under authority of the Oklahoma Statutes, OCA processes the names of persons for the Oklahoma Community Services Worker Registry where findings have been confirmed for abuse or neglect against Community Services Workers. In Adult Protective Services substantiated cases, OCA receives requests to process the alleged perpetrators' names for the Oklahoma Community Services Worker Registry. OCA also conducts investigations of claims made by foster parents that state employees have retaliated or discriminated against them after they (the foster parents) have engaged in protected activity. Through its administrative rules, OCA is authorized to provide a forum for filing grievances for various OKDHS customers, including: OKDHS custody minors, foster children, foster parents, DDSD service recipients, and any other OKDHS client who does not otherwise have a grievance system applicable to their problem. Any person having reasonable cause to believe an individual served by OCA has been subjected to abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation is required to promptly report it to OCA’s Intake.

Lincoln Boulevard, Suite 124 Oklahoma City OK 73105 Agency History In 1992, as an attempt to curb the steady growth of Medicaid spending/costs, reductions in rates and specific services available to Oklahoma's Medicaid population were made. Limits were placed on office visits and hospitalization for adults. Further, the state was forced to completely eliminate adult dental services. In an effort to avoid additional dramatic cuts in services and reductions in eligible populations, the Governor and Legislature placed health care reform near the top of their legislative agenda. From 1992 through 1993, Oklahoma's leadership formed citizen's committees to study access and cost-containment problems within the existing system and to propose meaningful reforms. Recommendations were made for Oklahoma to begin the transition of its traditional fee-forservice Medicaid program to a coordinated system of managed care - focusing on primary care, prevention and increased access. This served as a catalyst for the Legislature in 1993 to establish the Oklahoma Health Care Authority as the single state Medicaid agency effective January 1, 1995. Also mandated at that time, was the conversion of the Oklahoma Medicaid program from feefor-service to a statewide comprehensive system of managed care delivery. Oklahoma chose to develop and implement two distinct managed care delivery systems: SoonerCare Plus and SoonerCare Choice. SoonerCare Plus allows for prepaid fully-capitated health plan arrangements. SoonerCare Choice is the primary care case management system in areas that could not support the fully capitated approach. Our Mission Statement To purchase state and federally funded health care in the most efficient and comprehensive manner possible and to study and recommend strategies for optimizing the accessibility and quality of health care. Our Vision Our vision is for Oklahomans to enjoy optimal health status through having access to quality healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. Our Values and Behaviors OHCA staff will operate as members of the same team, with a common mission, and each with a unique contribution to make our success. OHCA will be open to new ways of working together. Revised 9/01/06 161 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 OHCA will use qualitative and quantitative data to guide and evaluate our actions and improve our performance in a purposeful way over time. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority is the primary entity in the State of Oklahoma charged with controlling costs of State-purchased health care. The agency must balance this fiscal responsibility with two, equally important goals: Assuring that State-purchased health care meets acceptable standards of care Ensuring that citizens of Oklahoma who rely on State-purchased health care are served in a progressive and positive system. What is Medicaid? Most people know Medicaid as the country's funding source to provide health care to lowincome Americans. But most don't realize that Medicaid also serves as the nation's primary source of funding for nursing home care. Additionally, Medicaid reimbursements also largely fund hospitals which serve as the cornerstone for a network of other health care providers that include primary care physicians, specialists, pharmacies, vision services, transportation, dental services, etc. Medicaid is three programs in one: A health insurance program for low-income parents (mostly mothers), pregnant women and children, A long-term care program for the elderly, A funding source for services to people with disabilities. Created as Title XIX of the Social Security Act in 1965, Medicaid is a federal/state program administered by the state and funded from federal, state and in some cases, local revenues. At the federal level the program is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); at the state level Medicaid must be administered by a "single state agency." The federal government establishes and monitors certain requirements concerning funding, eligibility standards, and quality and scope of medical services. States have the flexibility to determine certain aspects of their own programs in the areas of eligibility, reimbursement rates, benefits and service delivery. For over 30 years, Medicaid has operated as an entitlement program for individuals; that is, anyone who meets specified eligibility criteria is "entitled" to Medicaid services. Who is Eligible for Medicaid? As required by state law, Oklahoma's eligibility is determined at each of the county Department of Human Services offices. Each is governed by federal and state eligibility criteria. Most Medicaid eligibility criteria related to income levels are determined by federal poverty level (FPL) guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Medicaid serves Revised 9/01/06 162 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 as an insurance plan for many Oklahoma women of childbearing age and children. Women and children qualify for Medicaid based on income, resources and "categorical" status, that is, they are in a certain category such as TANF-related or low income pregnant women, hereafter referred to as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF/AFDC) population. Preventive and acute primary care services constitute the majority of Medicaid service needs for the TANF/AFDC clients. Some people qualify for Medicaid based on blindness or another disability regardless of age group. Serious health problems are commonly treated by private insurance markets as "preexisting conditions", making it difficult for people to obtain private insurance. Without private insurance, most people with disabilities and chronic conditions cannot afford to pay for the health care services they need. Medicaid has become a major source of funding for the health, health-related support services, and long-term care for these Oklahomans. These recipients are also referred to as the Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) population. How is Medicaid Financed? The federal and state governments share Medicaid costs. For program administration costs, the federal government contributes 50 percent (50%) for each state with enhanced funding provided for some administrative activities such as fiscal agent operations. For medical services provided under the program, the federal matching rate varies between states. Each year the federal matching rate, known as the "federal medical assistance percentage" (FMAP), is adjusted. States having lower per capita incomes receive a higher federal match. As an entitlement program for individuals who meet eligibility criteria, Medicaid's federal funding is open-ended. Oklahoma contributes general fund appropriations as their Medicaid match. What is a Waiver? Before Oklahoma could transition its Medicaid program to one of managed care, the state had to request a waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). States apply for waivers of Medicaid rules to test innovative approaches to benefits, services, eligibility, program payments and service delivery. The federal government allows states to request waivers specifically to "waive" certain federal requirements of the program. CMS waivers allow for some state flexibility in the design of its managed care delivery system; and, managed care models can vary based on available community resources, geographic location and experience in managed care practices. Oklahoma operates under a Section 1115(a) waiver. Section 1115(a) demonstrations allow states to test new approaches to benefits, services, eligibility, program payments and service delivery, often on a statewide basis. These approaches are frequently aimed at saving money to allow states to extend Medicaid coverage to additional low-income and uninsured people. Revised 9/01/06 163 OKLAHOMA COMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS, INC. 2006/2007 Under its current waiver, Oklahoma has chosen to develop and implement two, distinct managed care delivery systems within its Medicaid program - SoonerCare Plus and SoonerCare Choice. Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers Medicaid Home and Community-Based Service (HCBS) waivers afford states the flexibility to develop and implement creative alternatives to placing Medicaid-eligible individuals in hospitals, nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities for persons with mental retardation (ICF/MR). The HCBS waiver program recognizes that many individuals at risk of being placed in these facilities can be cared for in their own homes and communities, preserving their independence and ties to family and friends at a cost no higher than that of institutional care. Initial waivers are approved by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) to operate for three years. Waiver renewals are for periods of five years. The State of Oklahoma operates four Home and Community Based Services waivers (HCBS). Three waivers serve the mentally retarded and related conditions populace and one serves the frail elderly and adult disabled. The Home and Community Based Service waivers Oklahoma operates under are as follows: ICF/MR Waiver: Serves approximately twenty seven hundred (2,700) recipients with mental retardation or related conditions. The waiver expenditures are tested to determine that the costs incurred are below those of the institutionalized recipients. In-Home Support Waiver for Adults: This waiver began in July of 1999 and is designed to assist the state in removing adult individuals with mental retardation or related conditions from the ICF/MR waiver waiting list. This waiver has an annual post eligibility spending cap of $15,000 per year per recipient for waiver services. In Home Support Waiver for Children: Designed to assist the state in removing children ages 6 through 17 with mental retardation or related conditions from the ICF/MR waiver waiting list. This waiver has an annual post eligibility spending cap of $10,000 per recipient per year for waiver services. The reason for the lower cap for the In Home Support Waiver for Children is that children are also entitled EPSDT services with a generally broader scope, amount and duration of services than are provided to adults under Oklahoma Medicaid. ADvantage waiver: Serves older Oklahomans and adults with physical disabilities that can choose to stay home, instead of going into a nursing home. Eighty percent (80%) of the waiver population are physically disabled on-or-after their 22nd birthday and do not suffer cognitive impairment. Services through these waivers are available to individuals when the cost of waiver services are less than the costs of nursing home services and when the recipient can be served safely in the home.
