4 th Quarter Report: There were approximately sixty six (66) Private Providers approved to continue as First Placement/Best<br />
Placement providers <strong>for</strong> the state. Phase II <strong>of</strong> the re-enrollment process (field visits) has been postponed until February 2004. An<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation and technical assistance session was held <strong>for</strong> approximately eight (8) providers who were not approved as they did not<br />
meet the standards and or requirements. As a result <strong>of</strong> this technical assistance session, at least six <strong>of</strong> the providers were approved<br />
following this session. Reviewing the applications and assessments from the Private providers assisted the state in determining if the<br />
providers are following the standards and guidelines <strong>for</strong> completing comprehensive assessments and providing wrap-around services.<br />

selected from Lowndes and Four cases from Clayton County. One case will be selected from Franklin County. The Consultation and<br />

will continue until approximately 180 cases are selected from across the state by September 2004.<br />
