For service dates beginning January 1, 2022, the Medicaid maximum payment rates are increasing for Homemaker/Personal Care (HPC), Participant-Directed Homemaker/Personal Care (PD-HPC).
Only providers who bill DODD claims with a rate that is at least the new maximum payment rate will receive higher payments.
Providers who bill DODD claims with a lower rate than the maximum will be paid at that lower rate.
A primary purpose of the
DSP is to assist people who need support
to lead self-directed lives and to participate
fully in our nation’s communities.
This emphasis on empowerment and
participation is critical. There are numerous
pressures coming from organizations,
government, social policy, and societal
prejudice that can shift focus and allegiance
away from the people who are being
supported. DSPs face ethical decisions on a
daily basis and consistently feel the tension
between the ideals of the profession and
its practice.
In order to maintain the promise of
partnership and respect that must exist in
a supportive relationship, a strong, ethical
foundation is critical to help DSPs navigate
the maze of influences that bombard them.
The prejudices of society form powerful
barriers, yet too often, the very social
policies and service systems designed to
help can create additional barriers that
prevent many people with intellectual,
developmental or physical disabilities from
enjoying a rich and fulfilling life.
