Advanced Practitioners. Key Principles The key focus of Advanced Practitioner posts would be: • the leadership and coaching of face-to-face work; • the development of initiatives; and • the continual raising of standards in the service. The establishment of these posts is discretionary. Employers would, accordingly, determine whether Advanced Practitioner Grade posts were required to fill the needs of the service and would create such posts as and when appropriate. If after attaining an Advanced Practitioner post, the youth or community worker left the employer, there would be no automatic right to Advanced Practitioner status in any new employing organisation. Core Characteristics of Advanced Practitioners Applicants would need substantial experience in youth and community work. The JNC does not, however, prescribe minimum criteria for the length of experience, since experience would form only part of the criteria for appointment. Employers will determine the level of experience necessary to carry out the duties required of these posts. The JNC anticipates applicants would have to be able to demonstrate high calibre expertise in the field. Applicants might also be required to hold additional qualifications related to the type of work to be undertaken. Core Duties of Advanced Practitioners This description of duties is not intended to be a prescriptive or exhaustive list. Each post holder's job description would be drawn up by the employing organisation according to the needs of the service. This description is, however, intended to indicate the essential features of the work the JNC envisages would be carried out by post holders bearing the designation of Advanced Practitioner. A continuing substantial involvement in face-to-face work should be an essential element of any Advanced Practitioner's duties. The JNC does not, however, prescribe an appropriate proportion of the working week to be taken up by face-to face work. This is best left to the employer to determine. Other duties could include: • Mentoring, coaching, supporting and inspiring other youth and community workers in order to help raise standards. • Making a significant contribution to the improvement of an employing organisation's curriculum development and innovation, training, teaching and best practice issues. • Contributing to and ensuring implementation of equal opportunity policies. Developing authority wide initiatives. • Developing youth and community work specialisms. • Research with young people or client ...

Advanced Practitioners. Advanced Practitioners are experienced clinical/service professionals who have developed their skills and theoretical knowledge to a very high standard. They are empowered to make high-level clinical decisions and will often have their own caseload. They will normally be located at level 7 or 8 of the NHS Career framework. Organisations will already have some staff that either has the title or role that is considered to be that of an Advanced Practitioner. Consultant Practitioners Consultant Practitioners are staff working at a very high level of clinical/service expertise and/or have responsibility for the planning of services, normally employed at level 8 of Agenda for Change. The Advanced Practitioner role is as described in the definition, a continuum from emergent practitioner to Consultant. The difference between the two is that the Consultant role requires four key functions:  Expert clinical practice (at least 50%)  Professional Leadership and Consultancy  Education Training and Development  Practice and Service Development The Advanced Practitioner would spend the majority of time (approximately 70 to 80%) in practice and the level of leadership and service development required of the Consultant role is beyond that of the Advanced Practitioner. The level of research activity and education of others is again beyond that of the Advanced Practitioner. The challenge for organisations is to recognise that the development of the new Advanced role will ultimately develop and prepare staff for new opportunities and roles at consultant level. The current consultant roles in many cases already have wider requirements than a single professional remit. This new development will extend the scope and potential for this and could provide an improved and extended platform for the consultant role of the future.

  • Health Care Insurance While a faculty member is on an approved leave of this type, the faculty member will be advised regarding the right to continue health care benefits in accordance with COBRA during the period of unpaid absence.

  • Medicaid If and when the Resident’s assets/funds have fallen below the Medicaid eligibility levels, and the Resident otherwise satisfies the Medicaid eligibility requirements and is not entitled to any other third party coverage, the Resident may be eligible for Medicaid (often referred to as the “payor of last resort”). THE RESIDENT, RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND SPONSOR AGREE TO NOTIFY THE FACILITY AT LEAST THREE (3) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EXHAUSTION OF THE RESIDENT’S FUNDS (APPROXIMATELY $50,000) AND/OR INSURANCE COVERAGE TO CONFIRM THAT A MEDICAID APPLICATION HAS OR WILL BE SUBMITTED TIMELY AND ENSURE THAT ALL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. THE RESIDENT, RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SPONSOR AGREE TO PREPARE AND FILE AN APPLICATION FOR MEDICAID BENEFITS PRIOR TO THE EXHAUSTION OF THE RESIDENT’S RESOURCES. Services reimbursed under Medicaid are outlined in Attachment “A” to this Agreement. Once a Medicaid application has been submitted on the Resident’s behalf, the Resident, Sponsor, and Resident Representative agree to pay, to the extent they have access to the Resident’s funds, to the Facility the Resident’s monthly income, which will be owed to the Facility under the Resident’s Medicaid budget. Medicaid recipients are required to pay their Net Available Monthly Income (“NAMI”) to the Facility on a monthly basis as a co-payment obligation as part of the Medicaid rate. A Resident’s NAMI equals his or her income (e.g., Social Security, pension, etc.), less allowed deductions. The Facility has no control over the determination of NAMI amounts, and it is the obligation of the Resident, Resident Representative and/or Sponsor to appeal any disputed NAMI calculation with the appropriate government agency. Once Medicaid eligibility is established, the Resident, Resident Representative and/or Sponsor agree to pay NAMI to the Facility or to arrange to have the income redirected by direct deposit to the Facility and to ensure timely Medicaid recertification. The Resident, Sponsor and Resident Representative agree to provide to the Facility copies of any notices (such as requests for information, budget letters, recertification, denials, etc.) they receive from the Department of Social Services related to the Resident’s Medicaid coverage. Until Medicaid is approved, the Facility may bill the Resident’s account as private pay and the Resident will be responsible for the Facility’s private pay rate. If Medicaid denies coverage, the Resident or the Resident’s authorized representative can appeal such denial; however, payment for any uncovered services will be owed to the Facility at the private pay rate pending the appeal determination. If Medicaid eligibility is established and retroactively covers any period for which private payment has been made, the Facility agrees to refund or credit any amount in excess of the NAMI owed during the covered period.
