Form 3608 · Individual Plan of Care (IPC)

Form 3608 IPC software for Texas HCS providers.

Sereniq keeps the HCS Individual Plan of Care inside the individual's record: draft the IPC from the person-directed plan, capture services and units, finalize it with signatures, print Form 3608, and revise it without losing the version the state auditor already saw. The IPC is still entered in the TMHP LTC Online Portal; Sereniq is the provider-side record behind it.

Form 3608 is where the person-directed plan becomes authorized HCS services: IPC type, begin and end dates, HCS and CFC services with units, non-HCS services, backup plan and staffing questions, rights certifications, and a signature block for the provider, the individual, the LIDDA, and HHSC. Most agencies build it in a PDF, email it around for signatures, and lose the prior version the moment a revision is needed.

Sereniq treats the IPC as a record with a lifecycle. A draft is created against the individual, edited section by section on the current HHSC revision of the form, and finalized with a finalized-by stamp. A revision creates a new IPC that supersedes the old one, so the renewal, the mid-year revision, and the version in the last survey packet all remain available and dated.

Because the IPC lives next to the PDP goals, the daily Form 4119 notes, the MAR, and the Individual Binder, the services on Form 3608 have documentation behind them. When a surveyor asks how a service on the IPC was delivered, the answer is a date-range export, not a search through the file cabinet.

What you get
  • Form 3608 editor on the current HHSC form revision, with IPC type and begin, end, and effective dates
  • HCS, CFC, and non-HCS service sections with units, plus backup plan and staffing questions
  • Certifications, signature block, LIDDA, and service coordinator response sections
  • Draft, finalize, and revise: a revision supersedes the prior IPC instead of overwriting it
  • Form 3608 print from the record, included in the Individual Binder audit packet
  • PDP goals and Form 4119 notes sit beside the IPC, so authorized services have evidence

Provider questions

What agencies ask before switching.

Does Sereniq print Form 3608?

Yes. Sereniq renders the Individual Plan of Care as Form 3608 from the IPC record, and the print can be included in the Individual Binder packet for HHSC look-backs.

Does Sereniq submit the IPC to TMHP?

No. The IPC is still entered in the TMHP Long-Term Care Online Portal by your team. Sereniq does not integrate with TMHP and does not submit IPCs or claims; it is the provider-side record and print behind the submission.

What happens when an IPC is revised or renewed?

A new IPC is created that supersedes the previous one. The earlier finalized version stays on the record with its dates and finalized-by stamp, so the version a surveyor reviewed last year is still available.

How does the IPC connect to daily documentation?

The IPC sits on the same individual record as the PDP goals, Form 4119 service notes, MAR, and incidents. DSPs link goals when they write notes, and administrators export by date range when a service on the IPC needs evidence.
