ISS · Individualized Skills and Socialization · Form 8615

ISS software for Texas day programs.

Sereniq runs the ISS day: who came, where the group went, which activities each person did, and what every placing agency owes at month end. Attendance is four taps, the weekly service log prints as Form 8615, and the monthly statements build themselves from the board.

Individualized Skills and Socialization replaced day habilitation in Texas in 2023, and it came with its own license, its own staffing ratios for on-site and off-site time, and its own weekly service delivery log on HHSC Form 8615. Most ISS programs still run the day on a paper sign-in sheet, rebuild the 8615 by hand on Friday, and total the month for each placing agency in a spreadsheet. A day with no activity initialed is a survey finding, and a month with one missing checkout bills nothing for that person.

Sereniq makes the day itself the record. The attendance board runs on four taps: the van arrives, the group goes out, everyone comes back, and the day is done. A door view turns the tablet by the entrance into big tap-to-arrive tiles. Trips carry the staff and group counts, so the ratio on every off-site block is written for you, and a planned outing on the activity calendar pre-fills the trip sheet on its day.

Time records on the weekly service log come from the board and are never typed twice. Staff initial the activities they helped with, the log shows its 14-day deadline, and it prints as a one-to-one Form 8615 facsimile with the on-site and off-site sections, ratios, and provider names filled in. Drills print on Form 4719, and incident reports go to a review queue with a nurse alert when emergency services were involved.

Billing is a checklist, not a spreadsheet. Sereniq builds the month from the attendance board, trims days to the daily cap, lists what to fix before the month can close (someone never checked out, an agency with no rates set), and produces one statement per placing agency with Ready, Sent, and Paid status. Closing the month locks it. If your agency bills the state for its own individuals, the hours report gives you the totals. Sereniq does not submit Medicaid claims.

ISS is a second kind of Sereniq customer, not a bolt-on screen. A standalone ISS program gets an ISS-shaped account: attendance, service logs, safety, billing, individuals, partner agencies, and HR. A residential HCS provider that also runs ISS adds it to the same account and enrolls the individuals from its own homes in one step.

Provider questions

What agencies ask before switching.

Is this day habilitation software?

It is ISS software. Texas replaced day habilitation with licensed Individualized Skills and Socialization programs in 2023, and Sereniq is built around that program: its on-site and off-site ratios, its weekly Form 8615 service delivery log, and the placing-agency relationship. If you still call it day hab, this is the page.

Does Sereniq print Form 8615?

Yes. The weekly service log prints as a one-to-one facsimile of HHSC Form 8615, with on-site and off-site sections, time in and out, ratios, number of people, and provider names filled from the attendance board and the activity initials.

Does Sereniq bill Medicaid for ISS?

No. Sereniq builds monthly statements and invoices to the residential agencies that place individuals in your program, from the attendance board and your hourly rates. If you bill the state for your own individuals, the hours report gives you the totals. Claims stay in TMHP, and Sereniq does not submit them.

Can a residential HCS provider run ISS in the same account?

Yes. ISS is added to an existing residential account, and the individuals who live in your homes are enrolled in the program in one step. Pricing for ISS is quoted after a demo.

What does staff do on the phone?

The four taps: van in, trip out, everyone back. Day done, where activities are initialed and the daily summary is written, stays on the web so it is done with the group in front of you.

What happens if someone never checks out?

The billing fix list names the day and the person before the month can close. An open time block bills nothing, so you set the time they left on the board and the day is clean.
