When to use the DHS-6791B (CSP/CSSP)

Use of the MnCHOICES Community Support Plan with the Coordinated Services and Support Plan DHS-6791B

The Community Support Plan

The Community Support Plan portion of DHS-6791B is a required support plan following all MnCHOICES assessments. The CSP sets the foundation on which certified assessors can indentify and capture supports and services in the Coordinated Services and Support Plan of the DHS-6791B.

MCSO Exception: For people age 65 or older, counties and tribal nations may opt to complete the Managed Care Organization (MCO) Collaborative Care Plan, in anticipation that the person will be enrolled in a managed-care program for which they provide care coordination, instead of the CSP and CSSP.

The Coordinated Services and Support Plan
