Payment is made to HCBW/MR providers who have been certified as eligible to provide such services by the DHS Developmental Disabilities Services Division (DDSD). Certification is made after the provider has completed required training or meets the State licensing requirements for that medical discipline. Each provider must enter into a contract to provide HCBW/MR services. Payment is made on a procedure-based reimbursement methodology for each service. All services must be preauthorized before payment can be made.
