Introduction

The Developmental Disability (DD) Screening Document Codebook is a reference tool for lead agencies that enter DD screening documents into the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS).

Once completed and authorized, the DD screening document records compliance with requirements of Minnesota's federally approved waiver plan and Medicaid state plan.

Reimbursement for Medical Assistance services (e.g., intermediate care facilities for persons with developmental disabilities [ICFs/DD], waiver services and nursing facility services) requires DHS' authorization of the DD screening document.
