ODP Announcement 19-157 provides information regarding the publication of the Department of Human Services (Department) proposed Fee Schedule Rates for Transportation Trip services that will be added to the Adult Autism Waiver (AAW) effective January 1, 2020. Public comment on these proposed changes will be accepted until 11:59 pm on January 7, 2020.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Department proposes to add Transportation Trip as a service available in the Adult Autism Waiver. The amendment to the Adult Autism Waiver that contains this change is currently with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for approval. In anticipation of approval, a public notice was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin Volume 49, Number 49 on Saturday, December 7, 2019. The notice informs stakeholders of the proposed Fee Schedule Rates for Transportation Trip services that will be funded through the AAW.

The title of the notice is Proposed Fee Schedule Rates for Transportation Trip Services Funded Through the Adult Autism Waiver.

One Fee Schedule Rate was developed for each Transportation Trip service zone. Transportation Trip services can be offered by providers who enroll directly with the Department to provide Transportation Trip services or through Organized Health Care Delivery System (OHCDS) providers. The assumption log used to develop these rates is available here.
