To provide personal care services, an individual or agency must be enrolled with the Medical Services Division as a qualified service provider (QSP). A residential care provider must be licensed and enrolled as a basic care provider. Agency providers must ensure that each employee meets the required standards for a QSP before an employee can provide personal care services. Residential providers must ensure that each employee meets the required standards in the Basic Care Licensing Standard outlined by the North Dakota Department of Health.
A QSP must be at least 18 years of age and must provide evidence that he or she meets the general QSP standards included at NDAC 75-03-23-07. Competency of meeting standards required to provide personal care services for which a global or individual specific endorsement is required can be verified by a health care professional or applicable certifications or licensure.
The provider agreement with a qualified service provider shall be terminated for cause under the provisions of NDAC 75-03-23-08.
