Is an agency an independent contractor under the CCP Service Provider Agreement?
Yes. Service provider agencies are independent contractors of the Department under CCP. Acceptance and signing of a CCP Service Provider Agreement, as offered by the Department, serves as an assurance that the provider agency will commence delivery of service(s) upon the effective date of the Agreement and will meet all other requirements of the Agreement, including compliance with all CCP rules. The sole contractual liability of the Department is to make payment for appropriate delivery of service(s) to eligible individuals. These payments are contingent upon such funds as are made available by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois or the Federal Government for the conduct of this program.
