Providers are asked to read through the OCDEL announcement. Once providers have pulled together all required documents, they should send them to DHSRates@alleghenycounty.us . They can also make updates to their rates through Provider Self Service in Pelican, but must submit the C-1 along with their private pay rate verification.
The rate verification needs to exactly match the amount and format provided in their C-1 weekly rates.
Office hours on Zoom to discuss the increase will be available on:
Friday, January 3: 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Monday January 6: 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Wednesday, January 8: 6:30 pm – 8 p.m.
Tuesday, January 14: 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
