12VAC5-191-240. Bleeding disorders pool of funds.
Based on availability of funds, the Children with Special Health Care Needs Program may choose to administer a bleeding disorders pool of funds for payment of direct medical care services for the uninsured and underinsured clients. The commissioner or his designee may issue a guidance document that interprets these regulations and provides guidance for their implementation. The guidance document for the pool of funds shall include the financial requirements for eligibility as stated in 12VAC5-191-70, the policies for authorization of services, and the contractual assurances as noted in this regulation. The guidance document will assure that the funds are allocated to the children with the greatest financial need after all health insurance, federal, state, and community financial resources have been exhausted. At a minimum, the guidance document shall be reviewed at least annually and revised as needed, whenever the regulations are reviewed, and also may be amended or revised as needed to meet changing circumstances.
