The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) presented updates for residential providers on Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) this morning, July 29. The Deputy Secretary also reminded residential providers that ALL providers must submit a Residential Provider agreement to ODP by August 31, 2024. Those who have not yet submitted an agreement will be receiving a warning letter.

An overview of updates included revisions to proposed waiver submissions, an implementation plan, supporting documents, instructions for tier determination, and provider data submission. Additional information was also shared on the following:

  • Adjusted Timeline: Residential providers with a signed and submitted Agreement for Provision of Residential Services may choose when to submit data and documentation to determine the PBC tier. Providers may submit information between August 1–31, 2024, or between February 15–March 15, 2025.
  • Clarification on Staff Credentialing: ODP noted that the credentialing standard is the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) for Primary and Select tiers and NADSP and/or the National Association for the Dually Diagnosed (NADD) for the Clinically Enhanced tier.
  • Reduction of Measures: Measure changes were highlighted in red on the presentation.
  • Pay for Performance and Use of ARPA Funds: ODP clarified that Pay for Performance is available for Select and Clinically Enhanced providers. Use of ARPA funds has been extended for the department through June 2026 and will be available for P4P.
  • Preparedness Tools and Scoring: ODP will be using a scoring document for provider’s submitted data, which has composite scoring ability. If a provider falls short, they will have the opportunity to prove they met the measure.

Today, June 12, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) held the third of four Provider Preparedness Summits for Residential providers. Additional discussion on specific performance standards for Performance-Based Contracting took place.

The PowerPoint is now available, and a recording of the session will be posted shortly on the MyODP website. On page 60 of the PowerPoint, a check mark should be included under Clinically Enhanced.

ODP staff answered many questions submitted by providers and will take questions/comments into consideration for change. The discussion was primarily focused on an overview of the performance standards, including Risk Management, the Health Risk Screening Tool, Quality Improvement, and Complex Needs/Dual Diagnosis.

HRS data should be completed on all individuals. The HRS Protocol can be found here.

Many attestation questions will be required. ODP will be compiling the required attestations and incorporate them into one form for providers’ signatures.

The last and fourth summit will be held next Thursday, June 20. Providers are encouraged to attend all four sessions as well as watch a pre-recorded webinar. All of these recordings and resources can be found on the MyODP website.

Today, June 10, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) held the second of four Provider Preparedness Summits for Residential Providers. More discussion on specific performance standards for Performance-Based Contracting took place. The PowerPoint is now available, and a recording of the session will be posted shortly on the MyODP website.

ODP staff in attendance answered many questions submitted by providers, and the discussion was primarily focused on staff credentialing. Credentialing is unique to the DSP, is portable, and requires recertification every two years. A quick google search on NADSP will provide a thorough e-badge handbook.

There are two additional summits planned, and ODP will be recording each summit. Providers are encouraged to attend all four sessions as well as watch a pre-recorded webinar. All of these resources can be found on the MyODP website.
