For Indiana residential treatment providers who receive referrals from the Indiana Department of Child Services ("DCS"), it is important to know that deadlines are looming (if not already passed) to seek a rate review of the new rates DCS assigned to such providers for the 2012 calendar year. Residential providers have likely already received their rate letters, and depending on when those letters are dated, the providers may have only days left to request a rate review if they are unhappy with the new rate. Specifically, providers have 30 days from the date on the DCS rate letter to submit their review request.
Since DCS formulated the new rate-setting rules earlier this year, and since DCS issued their first round of rate letters for year 2012, Krieg DeVault has gained tremendous experience in drafting and submitting the necessary documentation in order to have a provider's rate reviewed, and to preserve their future appeal rights. If you would like assistance in requesting a review of your DCS rate, contact Kristen L. Gentry at 317-238-6288.
