CFCO RR/E Code Overview
CFCO eligible individuals must be identified in the eMedNY system through a unique Recipient Restriction/Exemption (RR/E) code on the individual´s eligibility file. For individuals deemed eligible for CFCO, RR/E code placement started on April 1, 2018.
Two (2) RR/E Codes were created to identify CFCO eligible individuals. The CFCO RR/E Codes are ´CF´ and ´CO´ and contain the following system attributes:
- CF: Community First Choice Option (Non OPWDD)
- Short Description: ´CFCO´
- Long Description: COMMUNITY FIRST CHOICE OPTION (Non OPWDD)
- CO: Community First Choice Option (OPWDD)
- Short Description: ´CFCO–OPWDD´
- Long Description: COMMUNITY FIRST CHOICE OPTION OPWDD
With the addition of the ´CF´ and ´CO´ RR/E codes, eMedNY system edits were created based on CFCO criteria. These include:
- Specific RR/E codes cannot co–exist with a ´CF´ or ´CO´ (RR/E to RR/E Conflict);
- Specific RR/E codes can only exist with a ´CF´ or a ´CO´ based on populations;
- CF RR/E code cannot co–exist with a ´CO´ RR/E;
- Only specific Medicaid Eligibility Coverage Codes that meet the CFCO Medicaid eligibility are allowed to co–exist with a CFCO RR/E code; and
- Begin date for CFCO RR/E code cannot be prior to April 1, 2018.
eMedNY Security Profiles have been updated to allow add/update access via the Client Detail: Exception/Restriction page. The following groups will have add/edit access:
´CO´ RR/E Code | |
---|---|
OPWDD | OPWDD |
LDSS | N/A |
DOH – CFCO Subject Matter Expert | DOH – CFCO Subject Matter Expert |
MCO (Batch File Process) | MCO (Batch File Process) |
CFCO RR/E Roles and Responsibilities
The LDSS is responsible for the identification of CFCO eligible individuals for their respective populations (not enrolled in a MCO, OPWDD or NHTD/TBI waiver).
- LDSS is responsible for the placement and maintenance of the ´CF´ RR/E in eMedNY. The placement and/or update of the CF RR/E code will be completed through eMedNY Thin Client.
- OPWDD will be responsible for the placement and maintenance of the ´CO´ RR/E code for Medicaid FFS individuals identified as OPWDD
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): (RR/E 60/81 code)
- Individuals seeking participation in the NHTD or TBI waivers must meet the nursing facility level of care to qualify for participation in the waiver. Upon receipt of the Notice of Decision (NOD) Authorization from the Regional Resource Development Center (RRDC), the LDSS is responsible for the placement of the waiver RR/E code (60 or 81) on the client´s file. In addition, the LDSS will now add the CF RR/E code if the waiver recipient meets CFCO eligibility and housing requirements.
- For individuals already established in the NHTD or TBI waivers (RR/E 60/81 code), the LDSS will be responsible for determining CFCO eligibility and, if eligible, assigning the CF RR/E code to identify the waiver participant as eligible for CFCO services.
- Once the waiver participant´s file has been updated with the correct waiver and CF RR/E codes, the participant should be directed back to the waiver for services, unless s/he is requesting State Plan services not covered through the NHTD/TBI waivers. Services such as Personal Care and CDPAP would be authorized by the LDSS.
Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD)
- Individuals are coded ´CO´ when determined to meet ICF/IID level of care criteria and all other CFCO eligibility criteria (e.g., not residing in provider–controlled housing) and are approved to receive at least some CFCO services from providers overseen by OPWDD.
- Individuals coded ´CO´ may also receive some CFCO services from DOH providers
- e.g., Personal Care Services (PCS) or Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). OPWDD performs a ´CO´ RR/E upload on a monthly basis.
- Individuals enrolled in the consolidated Children´s Waiver will not have a ´CO´ on file. If eligible for CFCO, these children will have a ´CF´ input by the LDSS.
- MCOs are responsible for the placement and maintenance of CF/CO RR/E code on eligibility files for their enrollees.
- MCOs do not have access to EMedNY Thin Client and must utilize the New York Medicaid Choice (NYMC) batch file transmittal process to have the ´CF´ or ´CO´ RR/E code added to an enrollee´s eligibility file in eMedNY.
- The MCOs transmit the individual client data via a file to NYMC which is then systematically transmitted to eMedNY. NYMC´s role in the batch transmittal is only a data pass–through. System edits are applied at the eMedNY level.
- The user id field in eMedNY will reflect CHOICE.
- If an MCO enrollee comes to the LDSS for a CFCO service, the LDSS will refer the enrollee back to their plan for CFCO eligibility determination and CFCO service authorization.
CFCO and NYSoH Individuals
NYSoH:
Individuals requesting CFCO services who are in receipt of NYSoH Medicaid and who are not enrolled in a Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) plan must enroll in a MMC (unless otherwise excluded).
The State is currently working on a process to assist the LDSS in transitioning Medicaid coverage for individuals who are excluded from enrollment into an MMC but otherwise eligible for CFCO services.

- CCO/HH is responsible for the plan of care.
- OPWDD provider contact information: https://opwdd.ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/CCO_Coverage_Chart.pdf
Activity Steps: CFCO Eligibility Criteria Determination
CFCO Eligibility Criteria Determination
- Review individual´s Medicaid eligibility and compare to the table.
- If the individual does not have active Medicaid, proceed to step 2.
- If the individual has active Medicaid and their coverage code is listed within the table, proceed to step 3.
- If the individual has active Medicaid but their Medicaid coverage code is not listed within the table below, proceed to Does Not Meet CFCO Eligibility Criteria.
Medicaid Coverage Code | Medicaid Coverage Code Name |
---|---|
01 | Full Coverage |

- Determine individual´s enrollment path (no active Medicaid).
- If the individual is seeking CFCO and MLTC, refer the individual to New York Medicaid Choice (NYMC) Conflict Free Evaluation and Enrollment Center (CFEEC) at 1–855–222– 8350. Continue with Medicaid eligibility determination. No further action is needed.
- If it appears the individual might benefit from OPWDD services, LDSS will refer the individual to the Developmental Disabilities Regional Offices (DDROs). If there are indications of a potential mental health diagnosis, LDSS will refer the individual to the Office of Mental Health (OMH). Continue with Medicaid eligibility determination and return to step 1 after Medicaid eligibility has been determined.
- DDROs: https://opwdd.ny.gov/opwdd_contacts/ddro
- OMH: 1–800–597–8481
- If the individual is seeking a CFCO service only, determine Medicaid eligibility. Once Medicaid eligibility is determined, return to step 1.
- Determine whether or not the individual´s Medicaid eligibility was determined using spousal impoverishment post–eligibility rules, a Special Income Standard for Housing Expenses, or Family–of–One budgeting for a child participating in a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver.
- If the individual´s Medicaid eligibility was determined without the use of one of the above methods, proceed to step 4.
- If the individual´s Medicaid eligibility was determined with the use of one of the above methods, proceed to Does Not Meet CFCO Eligibility Criteria.
- Determine individual´s enrollment path (CFCO Medicaid Eligible).
- If the individual is on the mandatory path and non–dual, refer them to NYMC (1–800–505–5678) to enroll in a plan. No further action is needed.
Note: MCO is responsible for CFCO eligibility determination. - If the individual is on the mandatory path and dual, refer the individual to NYMC (1–888–401–6582). No further action is required.
Note: MCO is responsible for CFCO eligibility determination. - If the individual is not on the mandatory path, proceed to step 5.
- If the individual is on the mandatory path and non–dual, refer them to NYMC (1–800–505–5678) to enroll in a plan. No further action is needed.
- Determine whether or not the individual meets the CFCO residential requirement (see below).
