Now Hiring - We'll Train You To Become a Direct Support Professional!

Bureau of Developmental Services (BDS) Conflict of Interest Corrective Action Plan

If you or your loved one are approved for services under the HCBS DD, I.H.S, or ABD waiver, you have the right to choose a conflict-free service coordinator (also called a case manager). This means that the service coordinator cannot work for the same agency that provides waivered services, including day, employment, and residential services.

Important Client Rights Reporting Information

As you know, understanding and supporting every client’s rights is everyone’s responsibility, and one that we take very seriously. It has come to our attention that there are currently issues with the BDS complaint call line, making it difficult to get through.

If you’re finding that you cannot get through, please send the complaint information directly to Erica Ross-Skianes, either by email Er******************@*****nh.gov or phone (603-271-5129).

Family-Centered Early Supports and Services

Now available through Telehealth, using either phone or video conferencing.

Concerned about how your child is talking, moving, or behaving? Wondering if your child is meeting their developmental milestones? We Can Help!

Early intervention is CRITICAL for these children, and beginning early enhances the chances for a more positive result. If you feel that your infant or toddler (aged birth through two) may have developmental issues, you can request a free evaluation.

Conflict-Free Case Management

If you have a family member who receives services through the Developmental Service System of Area Agencies you may have you heard about the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) that NH is under, related to the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).

The three 1915 (c) waivers affected by this CAP are Developmental Services, Acquired Brain Disorder, and Children’s In-Home Services.

The compliance issues addressed in the CAP focus on conflict of interest between case management and direct service delivery; and compliance with Medicaid billing rules, which allow providers to bill directly to the State.
