Section 57439 - Required Regional Center Payment and Vendor Cost Reduction Information

(a) In order for the Department to establish a permanent payment rate for vendors whose temporary payment rate is being converted to a permanent payment rate, or for vendors whose permanent payment rate is being established, each vendor who agreed, pursuant to Section 57300(d), to a negotiated level of payment shall submit regional center payment information for each regional center with whom the vendor agreed to a negotiated level of payment as follows:

(1) The total amount of the actual regional center payments which the vendor received for services provided to consumers during the reporting period; and

(2) The maximum amount of the regional center payment which the vendor would have received during the reporting period, had the vendor not agreed to a negotiated level of payment. The maximum amount of the regional center payment shall be computed by multiplying the vendor's established temporary payment rate or permanent payment rate for the reporting period, by the actual number of consumers days or hours of attendance which the vendor charged and invoiced the regional center for services provided to consumers.

(b) In addition to the information specified in (a) above, each vendor who agreed, pursuant to Section 57300(d), to a negotiated level of payment shall submit the total amount of cost reductions implemented as a result of the agreed upon lower level of payment.

(c) Each vendor who agreed, pursuant to Section 57540, to enter into a service contract may report regional center payment information and cost reduction information pursuant to (a) and (b) above if the method of payment agreed to in the service contract results in a reduced level of payment to the vendor.
