Summary
Connecticut DSS has revised meal delivery reimbursement guidelines for ABI and CHCPE waiver programs, allowing up to 7 units/days of meals to be delivered in a single day instead of the previous restriction of 1 unit per day, while maintaining the 7 units per week maximum.
Action Required
No immediate action required for most billing teams as this is a Connecticut-specific waiver program policy from 2016 that only affects meal delivery services under ABI and CHCPE programs. Providers serving Connecticut waiver clients should verify current meal delivery billing practices align with flexible daily delivery allowances.
