ICAP Scoring Software:
· The University of Minnesota has acquired the publishing rights to the ICAP from Riverside Publishing. The University intends to make ‘massive’ revisions to the ICAP which should be completed in the next 4 years. Currently, the University has made ‘technical’ changes to the instructions which it plans to test before moving forward with other changes. The University will also make the software available to users for free.
· HHSC has drafted step-by-step instructions for downloading and installing the ICAP scoring software.
Please click on the link below for guidance and to download the scoring program.

NOTE: Twogether Consulting is still happy to continue to score ICAPs for our clients, if requested, for a fee, of course. If you have contracted Twogether Consulting to assist with requesting a Level of Need increase for HCS/TxHmL or ICF, we will still score any ICAP that is part of the process. Just know that providers can now download the software again and score it themselves.
· HHSC IT Helpdesk WILL NOT provide technical support; providers must rely on local IT support.
NOTE: Twogether Consulting continues to provide training in completing the ICAP as well as scoring ICAPs for HCS/TxHmL/ICF and the CLASS program. Feel free to contact us anytime to schedule a live 1-on-1 training in person or via webinar. We also have recorded webinar trainings available, and of course, you are also welcome to join us for any live webinars posted on the website. You can email us at: info@twogetherconsulting.com
· The software works on Windows 10/11 only; it will not run on Mac/Chromebook.
· HHSC WILL NOT accept the “revised ICAP” protocols which are available on the University’s webpage; those will be remanded. In short, providers MUST continue using the current ICAP protocol already in use. Providers can, however, use the scoring software.
· HHSC intends to publish a communication very soon to inform providers about these changes. It will also discuss the changes during a February 18, 2026 webinar for which, at this time, the registration link is not available.
