2010.03 Facilitators - An individual may grant limited authority to a person who is assisting in the medical application process. This individual would not be a medical representative and may not apply on behalf, sign an application for the adult, nor request a fair hearing on behalf of the individual. They may share and receive information concerning the case depending on the scope of authority granted. This individual would not be responsible for completing review forms or reporting changes. Their role would be confined to helping the individual with the application process.
A signed written authorization from the person for whom they are assisting must be obtained. The KC6200 Facilitator Authorization Form or Facilitator authorization section on the paper application form may be used for this purpose and must be signed by the adult. Two witness signatures are required if the applicant/recipient signs with a mark.
For Facilitators, the length of appointment is dependent on the form used to appoint. The appointment of a community organization, medical provider or staff cannot exceed 12 months.
