| Re: | New Provider Agreements |
This notice follows up on an April 12, 2013 Elimination of Time Limited Provider Agreement provider notice that informed Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID) Provider Agreements are no longer time-limited. As a result, a new Provider Agreement must be completed and submitted by each ICF/IID. Once issued the new Provider Agreement will no longer expire as of a specific date and will remain valid unless there is a change of ownership or HFS notifies the facility the agreement is being withdrawn due to adverse federal or state action.
ICF/IID and Nursing Facility Provider Agreements have been merged into one Agreement, Form HFS 1432, Long Term Care Provider Agreement (pdf). Each provider will indicate their provider type by marking the appropriate box at the top of the new Provider Agreement.
Providers must complete and submit the updated Provider Agreement by close of business February 28, 2014. Completed Provider Agreements should be directed to:
Healthcare and Family Services
