The installer explains the following service delivery requirements for which the individual is responsible:. The installer provides the individual with a written copy and an explanation of the complaint procedures. The provider notifies the case worker of service initiation as outlined in Section , Service Initiation.

If it is not necessary to terminate services due to the failure to comply with the service plan, the case worker may authorize a transfer if it is necessary to meet the individual's satisfaction or if the individual insists on changing providers.

The case worker asks the individual to select another provider and processes the transfer coordinating the date the current provider will end services and the date the new provider will begin services. During a transfer of ERS services, the case worker must make every effort to coordinate the last day of service of the first provider to end on the last day of the month, and the begin date of transfer service of the second provider to start on the first day of the following month.

Coordination by the case worker of transfer ERS end and begin dates reduces the need for administrative payment of services to a second ERS provider for the same calendar month.

Note: In each of the three months, the provider is eligible for payment if all the requirements are met.

The provider is not eligible for partial payment for partial completion of procedures. The provider documents the reasons why the individual is unable to participate in the monthly systems check.

The provider will contact the responder if he does not have a documented reason why the system checks have not been completed. The provider must ask the responder to find out why the individual is unable to complete the system check. The information may be documented in the individual's case folder or the monthly log of systems checks.
