Help Us Demonstrate to the State the True Cost of Adult Family Home Services

Help Us Demonstrate to the State the True Cost of Adult Family Home Services.

Collective bargaining is a process of negotiations between the state and the Adult Family Home Council, primarily to set Medicaid reimbursement rates.

The Adult Family Home Council is the exclusive representative of Adult Family Home Providers who receive Medicaid payments. The organization negotiates and enforces the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which is re-negotiated every two years, coinciding with the state’s biennial budget.

The Adult Family Home Council is continuing to work for better reimbursement for residents and as part of our preparation for the next legislative session we will be conducting a survey of our Adult Family Home Providers. The completion of this survey will take only a few minutes, but the potential outcome would impact you for years.

Wipfli LLP has been engaged by the Adult Family Home Council to manage and present results of the survey which will be used to build a benchmark for the actual costs associated with our adult family home population. In the past, we have used other benchmarks to help determine the Medicaid reimbursement rates. The Adult Family Home Council believes by surveying our membership, we can accumulate data that more clearly reflects the actual costs of our members’ adult family homes.

In the next few weeks you will be receiving an email containing a link to the survey. By clicking on the link, you will be taken to an online survey requesting financial information about your adult family home. Our survey is being managed by Wipfli LLP and your information will be collected on a secure server solely for the purpose of establishing baseline Medicaid rates. Your individual site information will not be identified publicly. The collective data will be shared with the legislature, but your privacy will be protected.

We need your help to make the survey results valid. This is an opportunity for every provider to demonstrate the actual costs, as well as a useful tool in understanding what your cost per client per day are. Knowing this cost will be immensely helpful in business planning and development.  Please be on the lookout for an email about how you can help demonstrate the true costs of delivering adult family home services.
