Would Disabilities Services Division (DSD) service providers rates increase under Family Care expansion?
Currently, DSD pays some providers more than Milwaukee County Department on Aging (MCDA) and it pays some providers less than MCDA. The County would work with providers to identify differences in rates, in order to ensure a smooth transition for providers from the current Waiver programs into the Family Care program. DSD cannot guarantee that providers would be paid their current rate; some providers would not see a change in their rates, some providers rates would go up, and some would go down. Because the County is still in a planning phase to expand Family Care, specific rates are not yet known. If rates appear as though they would not be sufficient, the County Board and County Executive would not go forward with expansion.
