See Table 1 below.

In accordance with Item 288.ZZZZ of the 2024 Appropriation Act, the Department of Medical Assistance Services will update the rates for peer mentoring consistent with the most recent rate study by Burns and Associates effective July 1, 2024. See Table 2 below.

In accordance with Item 288.FFFFF.1 of the 2024 Appropriation Act, effective July 1, 2024, the Department of Medical Assistance Services will update the rates for DD waiver services by three percent for Group Homes, Sponsored Residential, Supported Living, Independent Living Supports, In-home Supports, Community Engagement, Community Coaching, Therapeutic Consultation, Private Duty and Skilled Nursing, Group Day Support, Group Supported Employment, Workplace Assistance, Community Guide, and Benefits Planning. See Table 3 below.

These rates are posted on the DMAS website at https://www.dmas.virginia.gov/for-providers/rates-and-rate-setting/. Corrections or revisions will be noted at the bottom of the official rate sheet. If you have any questions regarding rates please call the provider helpline at 800-552-8627.

DMAS and its Managed Care Organization (MCO) partners are diligently working on the implementation of new provider rates set forth in the 2024 Appropriation Act.  The MCOs may need 30-60 days from 6/28/2024 to finish updating their systems with the new FY2025 rates.   The MCOs will automatically reprocess any claims that paid using old rates within approximately 30 days after they finish updating their systems to the new rates.

 Currently, providers have the option to bill MCOs immediately under old rates or delay billing until FY2025 rates are updated by the MCOs.
