Purpose
PA OCDEL has requested a comprehensive study of the cost of delivering early intervention services. The study will review the current costs to provide services that support the program’s mission, the costs of hiring and retaining qualified staff, the impact of service specific versus discipline-specific reimbursement, the expense differentials for home/community/teleintervention delivery of services, the costs of non-billable activities, and several other factors that may affect the present rate structure used by PA OCDEL.
