In my experience – which I swear isn’t consistent and therefore no dumb questions – if they have a waiver of any sort they do not honor the 9 “free” visits. It has only worked for us if they are AC only clients.

Subject: MA Free Visits
Okay, I feel like this is a dumb question, but...
As far as I know, MA still has 9 free SNV per year, correct? Does it depend on the program or waiver they are on? I know I have used them in the recent past, but I am struggling to get visits paid on a CADI waiver client using the free visits. The LSW was hesitant about having to do a service agreement, so I said I would try the free visits. I am getting denials relating to the authorization. Has something changed that I am not aware of? Is there a trick I am missing? Thoughts?
