The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) recently issued gross adjustment payments to ODP providers based upon the rate increase that was approved in the 2024/25 PA state budget. The gross adjustment was on the remittance advice dated Monday, December 23, 2024.

In terms of determining the gross adjustment payments, ODP took all paid claims data between July 1, 2024 – September 30, 2024, and increased the paid claims 8% for non-residential and 6% for residential.

If a provider has questions regarding the gross adjustment they received, please reach out to either RateSetting or ODP Claims Resolution, and ODP staff can research each situation and concern.

Every 5 years, the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is required to develop a State Plan to help guide the work of the Council. The process of creating the next 5-year plan requires PADDC to gather information on the current barriers and concerns in Pennsylvania for those with developmental disabilities and their families. One of the ways they are choosing to gather information is to ask residents of Pennsylvania with a developmental disability, their families, and other involved parties for their input.

The survey will take about 10 minutes of your time. They will use the information from your response to help develop their next state plan. Complete the 5-Year Plan Survey here. Please complete the survey by Friday, March 14, 2025.

ODP staff provided updates today on the implementation of Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) in Residential programs. ODP is currently making adjustment to the scoring tool for use in February/March for submitting data for tier determinations. All Residential providers who did not previously submit their data must complete the scoring tool using their calendar year 2024 data in February/March of 2025.

ODP will rerun the data for those providers who previously submitted data since some of the measures have been adapted. Those providers will not need to resubmit their information but will be automatically be re-evaluated in case these changes may impact their tier assignment.

In coordination with the rebalancing of Incident Management policies, some changes will be made to the IM measures. ODP is offering helpful resources to assist providers. Please see the PowerPoint from the forum for links to these resources. Also, up-to-date information can be found at MyODP’s website.

ODP intends to publish the updated scoring tool mid-January 2025 as a PDF for providers to review and begin preparing their data. RCPA will share that tool as soon as it is available.
