(1)   Enrollment required. The family care benefit is available to eligible persons only through enrollment in a care management organization (CMO) under contract with the department.

(2)   Services. Services provided under the family care benefit shall be determined through individual assessment of enrollee needs and values and detailed in an individual service plan unique to each enrollee. As appropriate to its target population and as specified in the department's contract, each CMO shall have available at least the services and support items covered under the home and community-based waivers under 42 USC 1396n (c) and ss. 46.275 , 46.277 and 46.278 , Stats., the long-term support community options program under s. 46.27 , Stats., and specified services and support items under the state's plan for medical assistance. In addition, a CMO may provide other services that substitute for or augment the specified services if these services are cost-effective and meet the needs of enrollees as identified through the individual assessment and service plan.

(3)   Payment mechanisms. Payment to a care management organization shall be on a per enrollee per month basis. Any contractual agreements for shared financial risk between the department and a CMO shall meet applicable federal requirements.
