Should Element #27 (Total Amount Paid to Provider) include the parental co-pay?

0

Effective October 1, 2010, element #27 should not include the assigned parental payment (co-pay). It should only include any government-funded subsidy and any payment differential that the State makes to the providers based on achievement of defined quality standards. It should not include any other amount the provider might charge the parent over and above the approved payment rate. Prior to October 1, 2010, element #27 should include the child’s co-payment. • Question: In my State, we make provider payments based on authorized service hours. This may be different than the actual hours of care that a child received. Should we report the authorized hours for which I pay the full cost of care or the actual hours of care that the child received? Answer: The CCB is interested in knowing the number of hours a child spends in care each month. Although a state may pay for all authorized hours of care, they should report the actual hours of care that the child received. III. Contact This bull
