2. for services for which no payment liability is incurred.

C. Effective for dates of service on or after July 1, 2012, the reimbursement rate for case management services provided to the following targeted populations shall be reduced by 1.5 percent of the rates on file as of June 30, 2012:

2. individuals with developmental disabilities who participate in the New Opportunities Waiver.

D. Effective for dates of service on or after July 1, 2014, case management services provided to participants in the New Opportunities Waiver shall be reimbursed at a flat rate for each approved unit of service.

1. The standard unit of service is equivalent to one month and covers both service provision and administrative (overhead) costs.
a. Service provision includes the core elements in:
i.§10301 of this Chapter;
