Summary
Connecticut DSS is offering home health agencies a 1% rate increase on claims from July-September 2022 if they complete two requirements by November 1, 2022: participate in a CONNIE survey for care coordination technology and complete racial equity training modules with specific completion thresholds for different staff levels.
Action Required
By November 1, 2022: Home health agencies must complete CONNIE survey and identify a champion for learning collaboratives. Complete racial equity training modules: supervisors/managers must complete all 3 modules (100% completion rate), new supervisors hired after 6/1/2022 must complete all 3 modules (80-100% completion rate), and 25% of direct support/administrative staff must complete modules 1-2. Contact heidi.wilson@conniect.org for survey and Dsslearncentersupport@ct.gov for training enrollment. Failure to meet requirements will result in loss of 1% rate increase on prior period claims.
