Rescission of the Statement of Policy Clarifying County Fiscal Management for Waiver Services

[39 Pa.B. 3174]
[Saturday, June 27, 2009]

Scope

   This statement of policy applies to administrative entity (AE) directors and administrators.

Purpose

   The purpose of this statement of policy is to rescind 55 Pa. Code Chapter 6000, Subchapter N regarding County Fiscal Management for the 2176 Waiver (§§ 6000.781--6000.785).

Background

   As a condition of approving renewal of the Consolidated and P/FDS waivers, the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) directed that the Department of Public Welfare develop a Statewide rate-setting methodology for both waivers. The procedures for the standardized rate-setting methodology will include policies for funding reserved bed days.

Discussion

   Because the standardized rate-setting methodology and AE Operating Agreement will include AE requirements related to rate setting for the waivers, the statements of policy are no longer needed.

Effective Date

   This statement of policy is effective for rates for waiver-funded services that are effective as of July 1, 2009.
