By multiplying units times rate for each and all types of services, the provider can arrive at the gross amount due for services provided during the month. The fees assessed SSBG clients for the billed services should then be subtracted, showing the net amount due from SSBG.
The second and subsequent pages of the DHS-0145 detail the services by client and include client data.
Billing forms are included in "Appendix D."
The DHS-0145 is sent to the division/office with which the contractor/grantee has a legal agreement unless the contractor/grantee is given other instructions. (See Chapter thirteen of the Contract Manual for invoicing procedures.)
Division of Developmental Disabilities Services, Arkansas Rehabilitation Services, Division of Behavioral Health Services - Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Division of Aging and Adult Services and Arkansas Spinal Cord Commission all have their own method other than the DHS-0145 to invoice and report client units served.
Inclement weather billing may be submitted for a maximum of five (5) days in a calendar month or fifteen (15) days in a calendar year. If possible, the provider should make every effort to discuss the situation with the contract officer before closing.

* enter the service code and description of service again immediately below the line showing normal billing;
* complete the Number of Units section showing total units billed under this policy; and emotional, and physical growth and development of the child.
