from The Arc:  "Requesting an OASIS Review," stresses that it is very important to t o request that the IPMG case manager submit an OASIS Review Request  if there are concerns regarding the Medicaid waiver budget allocation received under the new OASIS assessment process.  Requesting an OASIS Review is  the first step to resolving individual cases and should be taken as quickly as possible.    To read this important information, please go to:  http://www.arcind.org/PDF% 20Files/2009%20OASIS%20Update% 203%209%2009.pdf Please share this information with families and consumers.
