SAS Name
HCBS_TXNMY_WVR_CD

CODE INDICATING THE TAXONOMY CODE FOR HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES. TAXONOMY CODE IS ONLY ADDED FOR WAIVER SERVICES IDENTIFIED IN 'MSIS TYPE OF PROGRAM CODE' = 6 OR 7.

Comments

NOTE: EACH FIVE DIGIT HCBS TAXONOMY VALUE IS MADE OF THREE COMPONENTS: A TWO DIGIT CATEGORY CODE, TWO DIGIT SUBCATEGORY CODE, AND A ONE DIGIT SERVICE DETAIL CODE. FOR SERVICES THAT CLEARLY FALL WITHIN A HCBS TAXONOMY CATEGORY OR SUBCATEGORY BUT CANNOT BE DEFINED IN ANY MORE DETAIL, THE HCBS TAXONOMY CODE IS PARTIALLY 9-FILLED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SERVICE COULD BE CLASSIFIED WITHIN A DISTINCT HCBS TAXONOMY CATEGORY BUT DOES NOT FIT DISTINCTLY INTO THE DEFINITION OF ANY ONE SUBCATEGORY THEN THE HCBS TAXONOMY CATEGORY IS SELECTED IN THE FIRST TWO DIGITS WHILE THE SUBCATEGORY AND SERVICE DETAIL COMPONENTS OF THE HCBS TAXONOMY ARE 9-FILLED.
