The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared the following reminders from ODP’s ICF unit:

ICF Contact Sheet

ODP maintains a Contact Sheet for each ICF in an excel workbook. The worksheet has blocks for providers to indicate who is the primary contact for each of these functions within your organization:

  • Administrator
  • Chief Financial Officer
  • Contact Person for Waiver Requests (waiver of the standard interim per diem rate)
  • Contact Person for Program Issues
  • Contact Person for Budgets
  • Contact Person for Cost Reports
  • Contact Person for Act 69 Assessment Information
  • Contact Person for Health Services

Also on that form are instructions to ODP regarding who should receive copies of Rate Setting Correspondence and members of ODP’s ICF Taskforce Listserv (this mailing list).

NOTE: IT IS THE PROVIDER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THIS FORM UPDATED. It is important that ODP has current information so that communications are properly directed. Please contact a member of the ICF unit or our Resource Account email at any time to provide updates or to obtain a copy of the contact sheet we currently have on file for your facility. Thank you.

4th Quarter Assessment Payment Reminder

This is a reminder that your Act 69 Assessment payment for the fourth quarter is due by May 25. For this quarter, you may either pay the full amount by May 25 or pay monthly (May 25, June 25, and July 25), as was shown on the invoice emailed to you on 9/28/23. Either way, accrue the full annual amount into this fiscal year for bookkeeping and cost reporting.

Procedure Change Reminder: When your ACH Transaction is scheduled, please send an email to the following individuals to inform them of the amount and the date of your transfer:

Please remember to include your invoice number and ‘DHS-ODP-ICF Assessment’ in the Addenda field of your ACH transaction.

From Pam Gilbert, Fiscal Manager, PA Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Programs:

Below are copies of presentation slides from the following segments of our ICF Task Force meeting this morning:

See the document titled “ICF TaskForce Q and A Log 2022.07.19.”

Note that, after the meeting, ODP decided to revise the Day Program section of the Beneficiary Acuity schedule of the cost report. Changes made were to:

  • Use 15-minute units instead of days, consistent with the HCBS waiver fee schedule;
  • Eliminate the need to report HCBS fees if that is how services were billed and expenses recorded; and
  • Make columns 4 through 11 not applicable for FY 2021/22 to give providers more time to prepare for this level of reporting.

See the file “Revised Beneficiary Acuity page_7.20.22” for illustration.

Finalization and testing of the cost report form is continuing and will be released as soon as possible.

For questions, please email.
