The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has announced a delay in the implementation of the Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) measure RD.01.1, which restricts residential placement options for individuals with higher needs. As originally written, RD.01.1 stated that beginning January 1, 2026, primary tier providers would not be permitted to accept new referrals for individuals assessed at Needs Group 5 (NG5) or higher. This requirement has now been delayed by two years.

  • Effective January 1, 2028, primary tier providers may not accept new referrals for individuals in NG5 or higher.
  • This restriction does not apply to:
    • Individuals already receiving residential services prior to January 1, 2028; or
    • Individuals whose needs assessment results in an increase to NG5 or greater after services have begun.

Until December 31, 2027, it remains permissible for Administrative Entities (AE) and Supports Coordination Organizations (SCO) to refer individuals in NG5 to a primary provider. However, AEs and SCOs may choose to limit these referrals to Select and Clinically Enhanced providers.
