Residential Rate Setting Project
Purpose of Project
The purpose of the residential rate-setting project is to establish a uniform methodology for determining
all-inclusive rates for services provided by community-based residential
programs that reflect the reasonable costs of services in relation to the
acuity of members served by those programs. The application of a common
methodology will:
- Promote access to and quality of services for members.
- Treat consistently providers offering similar services.
- Establish predictability for purchasers and providers of residential
services.
- Maintain transparency and good stewardship of resources.
- Ensure consistency with CMS guidelines.
