Shared Living Support Services - 12VAC30-122-510
This is a service that has had a difficult time getting off the ground, but it is an excellent service that could benefit some people. However, the administrative payment to the provider does not cover the services they are asked to provide in this definition. In the regulation is it unclear how often the provider is eligible for the flat fee noted.
The Arc of Harriosnburg and Rockingham believes in the value of this service and recommends that the method for administrative fees be reconsidered. Similar to the Federal program Ticket to Work, an up front small payment to a provider for beginning a case with someone, followed by subsequent lump payments upon evidence of the desired outcome, could incentivize providers to innovate. Additionally we recommend a minimum of $5,000 per year for the administrative fee.
