As part of rate reform efforts, including implementation of the 2019 Rate Study, the Department of Developmental Services (Department) is continuing to review rate model assumptions for specific services. This letter communicates a change related to Community Care Facilities (CCFs) vendored for seven or more individuals.

Aligned with federal guidance when the 2019 Rate Study was released, rate models were not included for homes vendored for seven or more individuals. After evaluation of stakeholder feedback and updated federal guidance, the CCF rate schedules have been amended to reflect rates for CCFs vendored for four or less individuals and five or more individuals.
