The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared communication ODPANN 26-004, in order to share the updated Provider Qualification Process. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require a statewide process to ensure providers are qualified to render services to waiver-funded individuals. The Provider Qualification Process described in this communication outlines the steps the assigned Administrative Entity (AE) and provider must follow to meet these requirements, and the steps Supports Coordinators (SCs) take to transition individuals if needed. This communication does not describe the qualification process for SC organizations.


The release of this communication obsoletes ODP Announcement 25-014 Provider Qualification Process Update. Please review the announcement for more details.
