One advantage of a weighted visit system is that it incentivizes providers to deliver services that are individualized to the needs of the clients. This is in contrast to the flat rate system where providers are paid on a per visit basis regardless of complexity or who provided the service.

Also, we are obliged to develop a system that is HIPAA compliant and compatible with DOHs general design as they are the single state agency for Medicaid.
