What is the payment rate that the department will pay the provider if I receive personal care services in a residential facility?

The department publishes rates and/or adopts rules to establish how much the department pays toward the cost of your care in a residential facility.
(1) For CFC, COPES, MPC, medical care services, RCL, and new freedom programs, the department assigns payment rates to the CARE classification group. Under these programs, payment for care in a residential facility corresponds to the payment rate assigned to the classification group in which the CARE tool has placed you.
(2) The enhanced services facility rate is determined by legislative action and appropriation.
(3) The rate for adult family homes with a specialized behavior support contract is based on the CARE classification group and an add-on amount, which is negotiated through the collective bargaining process.
