Medicaid Service Update
To: All ADvantage Case Management Providers
Subject: Update to CDPASS Wage Rate Increase Request Process
Date: October 12, 2022
We have improved the STEPS TO REQUEST A PSA/APSA Hourly Wage Rate increase:
Step 1: The Case Manager will need to attach a new Budget Worksheet (Version 22) to a Note in the Member’s Harmony case. The begin date must be 10/1/2022 or later and the end date must be the end of the Member’s service plan year.
- Note Type = CDPASS
- Note Sub-Type = CDPASS Budget Worksheet
- Note Status = Communication
- Note Content = Plan adjustment per 10-1-2022 unit rate increase
Step 2: The Case Manager will also need to attach a new PSA/APSA CDPASS Employee Rate Form to a Note in Member’s Harmony case for each active employee. The form is available on the FMS website and in the Harmony Library.
- Note Type = CDPASS
- Note Sub-Type = CDPASS Pay Rate Form
- Note Status = Communication
- Note Content = Plan adjustment per 10-1-2022 unit rate increase
AN EMAIL IS NO LONGER NECESSARY- THE PROCESS HAS BEEN AUTOMATED IN HARMONY when the process above is followed.
NOTE: Case Managers should NOT make any service plan changes, nor should they submit the plan to MSU for SPA Review.
The Member’s T2025 Consumer-Directed Goods & Services (OPX) unit rate has been systematically adjusted in Harmony. The total number of OPX units will remain the same and no changes will be made to the total number of OPX units currently authorized.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided above, please feel free to contact us via Harmony Provider Question.
