DSC Handbook

NEW DSC HANDBOOK FORMAT

MAXIMUS is now presenting the DSC Handbook in a new "by chapter" format, intended to make the Handbook easier to update, and to ensure updates are timely. Chapters may now be revised one at a time, and as Program clarifications warrant. Chapter 4 is currently being updated to incorporate NPI and changes required by the new CMS 1500 form. Look for a revised Chapter 4 in the near future.

MAXIMUS is always open to feedback and suggestions for improving Program documents. Let us know if the new format is user friendly, or if there is anything we can do to make the Handbook a more valuable tool for school districts, Billers and Program Coordinators.
