ODP Announcement 20-026:
Provider Re-qualification Deadline Extension for Cycle One, Year Three

Updated: March 20, 2020

Audience

Administrative Entities, Intellectual Disability Providers including AWC and OHCDS, Excluding SCOs

Purpose

The purpose of this communication is to announce that ODP is extending its deadline for the requalification process for Cycle One, Year Three to October 31, 2020.

Discussion

As per Announcement 011-18, providers are required to be requalified on a 3-year cycle. This year, Year 3, providers with MPI ending in 6-9 are scheduled for requalification, as well as any provider who was initially qualified in FY 2018-2019. 

Due to COVID-19 virus, the ability to process requalification applications in a timely manner has been compromised as a result of remote working and time and energy being spent on addressing the current situation. 

Therefore, ODP is extending the deadline for provider requalification until October 31, 2020, so that providers and AEs can remain focused on the delivery of services to individuals. A more detailed operational guide will be forthcoming.
