Rate Studies

The Developmental Disabilities Supports Division of the Health Care Authority conducts independent rate studies including rate analysis and rate setting; and research and business analysis. Rate studies result in recommendations for reimbursement rates for the provision of services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities receiving services through all four Home and Community Based Services Waivers; the Developmental Disabilities Waiver (DDW), Mi Via Waiver (MV), Medically Fragile Waiver (MF) and the Supports Waiver (SW.) Rate studies are conducted in accordance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rules for rate setting methodology for 1915 c waivers.
