“Click here to view the Department’s final recommendations for targeted rate increases for the FY2016-17 budget. We received 41 submissions for feedback and 30 formal stakeholder proposals. Of the 30 formal proposals, the Department is recommending 13 of the proposals at a total cost of $16,302,540. Please note that while these are the Department’s recommendations for rate increases, it is ultimately up to the Joint Budget Committee and the General Assembly to approve or adjust our recommendations.
Even if your proposal was not included in our final recommendations, I want to express our continued commitment to meeting with provider groups throughout the year to learn how we can be better partners. We also acknowledge that this current process allows for limited input from stakeholders which is why the Department is asking the JBC to approve an annual rate review process that will provide a more objective and data driven approach to adjusting our rates in years when there is money for increases and years when there is not. The process would also include a specific phase for stakeholder input. If you have any questions, please email judy.zerzan@state.co.us.” [Source: HCPF]
