Administrative Letter 19-02

Dear Provider,

Developmental Disabilities Services received approval from CMS for rate increases made possible by HB3708.   These increases are retroactive to July 1, 2018.  The new rates are described and outlined below.

*State Funded or Manually priced services. 

New Authorizations will only be issued on State Funded ("MC" numbers) and Manually Price ("PB" numbers) services.  DDS is working with OHCA on a mass adjustment for previously paid services provided on or after July 1, 2018. We are hopeful all claims can be adjusted within 2 to 3 weeks.  We will keep you informed as we work through this process.  The DDS Provider Support Center is a good resource if you need further information or assistance.  The support center may be contacted as follows:

E-mail: ddsd.provider.support@okdhs.org; Fax: 405-573-6853

State Funded Service Contracts

State funded Sheltered Workshop, Community Integrated Employment, Assisted Living, Group Home and Prader-Willi rates were updated by contract modification with a July 1, 2018 effective date.  Those rates are listed below.
