The HCA is requesting providers to participate in an important upcoming behavioral health provider cost and wage survey.
Who should complete the survey?
- Mental health and substance use disorder outpatient providers
- Substance use disorder and mental health residential providers
- WISe and PACT service providers
Why is my participation important?
- The data providers submit will provide important insights into behavioral health provider costs and wages and inform the payment rate assumptions used to refine the behavioral health comparison rates developed in Phase 1.
When will the survey be released and how much time will I have to complete it?
- HCA anticipates releasing the survey at the beginning of September.
- Providers will have 30 days to complete the survey.
Will training and assistance be available?
- HCA’s contractor Milliman will administer the survey.
