Maximizing Services Under the NJCAT
The NJCAT is a tool used by DDD to determine eligibility for adult services. It is also used to determine the intensity of an individual’s needs and their annual budget amount. The tier also determines the provider reimbursement rate for that individual for many DDD services. Through the NJCAT, DDD assigns each individual to a level of “acuity.” The greater the level of acuity, the higher the budget for services. In this workshop, parents will learn about the NJCAT and the vital importance of completing it in a way that accurately reflects an individual’s true level of independence. The 90-minute presentation includes time for Q&A.
