View official source5600 PURPOSE 5600.1 This chapter establishes the daily reimbursement rate for the Supported Independent Living (SIL) service. Establishment of a daily reimbursement rate will allow the Department of Behavioral Health (Department) to contract with providers who enter into a contract with the Department to provide SIL supportive services for specific consumers at an established rate. 5600.2 Nothing in this chapter grants any right or entitlement to reimbursement to an SIL provider for the costs of SIL services. Eligibility for reimbursement for SIL services is determined solely by the Human Care Agreement (HCA) contract between the Department and the SIL provider and is subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
