Update on Shift in Reimbursement Structure – IMPORTANT CHANGES – 3/6/09 Waiver Workgroup Updates ~ CCPA has been advocating for increases in the base rate of $14.20 for several months and we were successful in these efforts. We’ve identified Department of Labor data on wages in similar positions and reviewed your COR data to emphasize the inadequacy of the $14.20. Current COR data on staff wages show an average of approximately $14.80 for day programs. As you will see in your provider specific data from DDS, the base rate has been increased from $14.20 to $14.75. This is a major victory for providers in the DDS system. We wanted to make sure you were aware of this change so that you can understand the details of the rate/ consumer sample sheets you will be receiving from DDS.
Joe Drexler reviewed the documents linked below. Providers should expect to receive samplings of clients, similar to the first document linked below, identifying contracted dollars, levels of need and funding under the new rate system. Please note that this is only a sample of your consumers. You will be asked to fill out the document to identify areas of concern or disagreement. I urge you to write an explanation of why you disagree, instead of simply checking off that you disagree.
