Value Based Payment Letter
November 3, 2020
Administrative Letter 21-04
Dear Provider:
On October 1, 2020, Developmental Disabilities Services (DDS) began a state-funded pilot with a goal to promote moves toward competitive integrated employment for eligible waiver recipients. This pilot service, Value Based Payments (VBP), is an incentive payment to providers who support individuals to move in the direction of competitive integrated employment.
Value Based Payments are:
- Paid after a service recipient has been receiving the new employment service (as outlined below) for 15 days of employment and employed a minimum of 15 hours weekly;
- Available to providers when supporting those in the In-Home Supports Waiver for Adults, Homeward Bound Waiver, and Community Waiver; and
- Delivered in service units of $500/unit. Providers can receive $1500 for connecting service recipients to a competitive integrated employment opportunity each plan of care year.
