RE: Revisions to Section 2.000, Social Services ivision
Policies and Procedures,Weld County Department of
Social Services Operations Manual
Enclosed for Board approval is a revision to Section 2.000, Social Services Division Policies and
Procedures, Weld County Depai tnient of Social Services Operations Manual. This revision was
reviewed at the Board's Work Session held on June 13, 2005.
The revision is to Section 2.401.2,Case Services Reimbursements for Children in Out-of-
Home Placements. The Department is revising its policies and procedures to complement State
Department of Human Services' policies and procedures that have been recently issued. The
State policies are less restrictive than previously issued and appear to allow county departments
of social services to "back-fill" for Medicaid expenses associated with Residential Treatment
Centers(RTCs), if the State Department of Health Care Policy and Financing disallows such
costs.
If you have any questions,please telephone me at extension 6510.

2.401.2 Case Services Reimbursements for Children in Out-of-Home
Placements
The State Department of Human Services has made child welfare funds
available to purchase program services that support a case plan for
children in out-of-home placements or subsidized adoption. Acceptable
purchases through case services are as follow:
A. One time physical, dental, and psychological examination for
individual eligible children in out-of-home.
B. Client transportation when travel is necessary as listed below. For
mileage reimbursement, it will be two cents less than the Internal
Revenue Services standard mileage rate.
1. For children in out-of-home care to receive services
specified in the Family Services Plan that are directly
related to visitation and reunification.
2. To return runaways, who are in county department custody,
to their Colorado home county.
3. To facilitate a permanent plan through the Interstate
Compact on the Placement of Children.
C. The county will not reimburse for transportation when the child is
eligible for Medicaid and the transportation is to enable him/her to
secure medical benefits.
D. Purchase of other case services provided to children in out-of-
home placement when such services are not a part of either room
and board or Medicaid treatment or case management services. In
order to authorize these types of services to be provided, the
following must precede the authorization:
1. The cost of these services must be reasonable for the type
of service being provided; and
2. The purchase must be pre-approved by the caseworker's
immediate supervisor or administrator.
