What is the CCW Rate Study and why is it so important?
A significant aspect of the rate study process involves engaging with various stakeholders. This includes providers, state agency staff, legislators, and waiver participants and families. High survey response rates are critical to getting the robust data set that is needed to inform the analysis. A high participation rate allows for a more accurate and complete analysis.
The Department works with Guidehouse to prepare a final study that is published for public viewing. The study is then used to inform Department of Health and State of Wyoming on potential budgetary impacts of the rate model contained in the rate study. It is important to note that the Department of Health does not have the authority to change provider reimbursement rates. The State Legislature must appropriate the funds in order for the Department to increase provider reimbursement rates.
