ODP Proposed Rates Open for Public Comment

ODP Proposed Rates Open for Public Comment

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has published the proposed Fee Schedule Rates for services funded through the Consolidated, Community Living, Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS), and Adult Autism Waivers and Base-Funded Program, residential ineligible services, as well as the accompanying rate assumption logs. These rates are proposed to become effective July 1, 2024.

Comments received by 11:59 pm on June 4, 2024, will be reviewed and considered for revisions. Interested persons are invited to submit written comments regarding the proposed rates. Comments may be submitted to the Department via email, and RCPA will schedule a meeting with our members to develop our comments.

Proposed Fee Schedule Rates and Department-Established Fees for Community-Based Services in the Consolidated, Community Living, and P/FDS Waivers and Base-Funding:

* The proposed AAW fee schedule rates have not been posted

Comments about rates for services in the Consolidated, Community Living, and P/FDS Waivers and base-funding should be addressed to Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Programs, Division of Provider Assistance and Rate Setting, 4th Floor, Health and Welfare Building, 625 Forster Street, Harrisburg, PA 17120.

Comments about rates for services covered in the Adult Autism Waiver should be addressed to Jamie Bonser, Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Programs, 625 Forster Street, Room 510, Harrisburg, PA 17120.

We understand that the waiver amendments, including the details regarding Performance-Based Contracting, are scheduled to be published in the PA Bulletin this weekend, and we will share those with members as soon as they are available.

We would like to thank business member Paul Stanalonis for sharing an impact analysis he developed today. Please note that this comparison is based upon the rates that have continued to be in effect throughout COVID, and were not adjusted as originally planned by ODP.

Please contact Carol Ferenz with any questions. A meeting announcement will be sent to members once a date and time is confirmed.
