The new rates for the Office of Developmental Programs’ (ODP) services have been released:

As everyone knows, this rate refresh is a critical development and long awaited. We also know that we will need a thorough analysis of the adequacy of these rates. For that reason, RCPA has partnered with PAR, MAX, and the Alliance of Community Providers to hold a webinar on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at 10:00 am. More information on this webinar will be coming later today.

ODP Announcement 21-084 announces that the renewal of the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW) was approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on November 18, 2021. As communicated in ODP Announcement 21-067, the renewal of the AAW has no substantive changes from the previously approved waiver.

The renewal was submitted with no substantive changes because some previously proposed changes to the AAW conflicted with the requirements of Section 9817 of the American Rescue Plan Act and CMS guidance that was published in May of 2021. The renewal is effective July 1, 2021, and can be found on the DHS website.

Because the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) is not making the changes it originally planned to the AAW, ODP will not be implementing the proposed rates published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on May 22, 2021. Any new proposed changes to rates will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin for a public comment period prior to implementation.
