Children’s Long-Term Support (CLTS) Waiver Program

Overview Program updates Wait List Elimination Initiative Statewide Rate-Setting Initiative

Wait List Elimination Initiative Initiative began in October 2017 Wait List Elimination effort continues into 2019

Rate-Setting Agenda Rate-setting initiative updates Orientation to rate-setting materials Transition to new rates Next steps Questions

Rate-Setting Initiative The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is implementing a uniform rate-setting methodology for most CLTS services to comply with federal Home and Community-Based Services waiver regulations. This methodology will contribute to: Statewide consistency. Transparency in established rates. Program standardization. Service-specific outcomes.

Services Included in Rate-Setting Adult family home Case management Child care Community integration services Counseling and therapeutic services Daily living skills training Day services Most rates represent a ratio of one direct caregiver to one CLTS participant.

Services Included in Rate-Setting, continued Financial management services Mentoring Nursing services Respite Supported employment Supportive home care Transportation Most rates represent a ratio of one direct caregiver to one CLTS participant.

Services Exempt From Rate-Setting Adaptive aids Children’s foster care* Communication aids Consumer education and training Home modifications Housing counseling Personal emergency response systems Relocation services Specialized medical and therapeutic supplies Training for unpaid caregivers *DHS will continue to set children’s foster care rates in coordination with the Department of Children and Families.

Rate Methodology: Alignment Rate methodology aligns with existing rates for comparable services: Medicaid fee-for-services (therapies, transportation, nursing, personal care) Family Care and IRIS (adult family homes, financial management services)

Rate Methodology: Alignment, continued Department of Children and Families (child care, foster care, institutional respite rates) Department of Workforce Development, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (employment support service fee structure)

Rate Methodology Components Provider type Direct caregiver costs Care level Outliers

Rate Methodology: Provider Type Types: Agency or Individual Provider agency rates include higher administrative percentage due to increased employer roles and responsibilities, such as: Recruitment Training Supervision Issuing wages State and federal reporting requirements

Rate Methodology: Direct Caregiver Costs Most service rates include direct caregiver costs: Wages Withholdings (examples: federal and state taxes, benefits) Exception: Financial Management Services (FMS) FMS rates only include administrative costs of processing service provider payments and related activities. Flat, per participant per month (PPPM) rates

Rate Methodology: Care Level The child’s care level based on CLTS functional screen data and other information Services: supportive home care and respite Levels: low, medium, high

Rate Methodology: Outliers Exceptions to the CLTS rate schedule based on: Participant’s individual care needs Service availability

Rate Methodology: Day & Group Rates Day rate methodology: Respite Group rate methodology: Daily Living Skills Training Mentoring Supportive Home Care

Rate Implementation The rates represent the maximum amounts that can be paid for each service unit without an outlier rate (outlier rates can be considered in individual circumstances). County waiver agencies (CWAs) are prohibited from negotiating rates with providers for in-scope services.

Rate Implementation, continued Services may be paid at rates lower than DHS-based rates in circumstances where the actual service cost (usual and customary) is lower than the DHS-based rate for a particular service.

CLTS Provider Agreement Forms To align with rate-setting initiative, updated January 2019 agreement forms require providers to accept the DHS established rates. Providers must complete, sign, scan, and upload updated agreement forms during registration process.

CLTS Provider Agreement Forms, continued All providers re-register every four years. DHS issues a reminder message before the four-year re-registration deadline. CWAs will be able to access signed agreements from registry (provider only completes form once).
