The payment that you will receive on November 15th for the services that you provided during the month of October will be reduced by this additional 1.25%. The turn around invoices that you received last week reflect this new, lower rate of payment. The regional center has paid you at a higher rate for the months of July, August and September. As the budget language made this rate reduction retroactive to July 1, you have been overpaid by 1.25% for services that you provided during those months. San Andreas Regional Center will be required to retrieve this overpayment from you. Our intention is to do this in a way that causes the least amount of hardship to you as a provider, while staying within the business requirements placed upon the regional center. At this time, the regional center is waiting for additional written instructions from the Department of Developmental Services before moving forward with the repayment. We would encourage you to read sections 137 and 164 of AB1613, as they contain the exact language and related provisions of this rate adjustment. These sections can be found on our website www.sarc.org, but can also be found at the state Department of Developmental Services website at www.dds.ca.gov/budget/home.cfm.
