ODP Bulletin 00-24-01 Performance-Based Standards for Residential Services has been published, providing detailed information regarding the standards that will be utilized to evaluate performance of residential providers in PA. An expected timeline for implementation of residential performance standards and tier assignment and the evaluation standards that will be used to assign tiers to providers have also been published.

ODP submitted waiver amendments for the 1915(c) waiver and the new 1915 (b)(4) waiver to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 26, 2024. RCPA anticipates the fee schedule rates will be published in the PA Bulletin on August 31, 2024. Implementation of the new rates will happen October 1, 2024, with an effective date of July 1, 2024.

All non-residential services, including participant directed services, will receive an 8% increase. All residential services will receive a 6% increase. Implementation of PBC will include rate add-ons of:

  • Select Providers: 3%
  • Clinically Enhanced Providers: 5%

Pay for Performance will also be available.

ODP will hold a webinar on Monday, July 29, to provide an overview of these changes. You can register for the meeting here. Please direct any questions about this information to ODP electronically.

ODP Announcement 24-069 provides an update to all stakeholders about the status of the Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) 1915(b)4 Waiver and 1915(c) Waiver amendment submissions to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has changed the date for submission of proposed waiver changes to CMS to Friday, July 26, 2024.

Due to the delay in submitting the waivers, ODP has also rescheduled the July 22 webinar for residential providers to Monday, July 29, from 9:00 am – 10:00 am. In this session, ODP will review revisions to the proposed waiver submissions and implementation plan, supporting documents, and instructions for tier determination and provider data submission. Anyone previously registered does not need to re-register and can expect an email notification of the change. If you are unable to attend on July 29, ODP requests that you unregister. This session will be recorded and posted on MyODP at the Performance-Based Contracting – MyODP page.
