Change to EIDBI comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation (CMDE) policy
Effective Feb. 1, 2022, EIDBI providers are only required to complete a CMDE once every three years for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or related conditions. Families still may request a CMDE once per year, if they choose. Providers may complete CMDEs once per year without prior authorizations when clinically appropriate and within service limits listed on the EIDBI billing grid (PDF).
DHS made this policy change based on feedback from public comments and consultation with the EIDBI Advisory Group and other interested parties.
