Due to the transition
to the electronic certification system Provider Certification Wizard
(PCW),
there will be a
blackout period in which we will not accept any provider applications for
provider
certification.
Effective October 15, 2011, we will no longer be accepting paper
applications.
Applications
submitted on or before October 14, 2011, will be processed. Any
applications
received after
October 14, 2011 will be returned to the provider with instructions to visit the
new
DODD Gateway
Portal.
Providers will be able
to apply for certification online effective October 31, 2011 by visiting http://dodd.ohio.gov.
Persons or agencies who provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities must obtain certification from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. Applications for provider certification must include supporting documentation as evidence the applicant meets all qualifications and standards.
Please note that becoming a certified provider for waiver services does not mean that the provider is an employee of the State of Ohio, the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, or of the provider’s local County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Providers are independent business owners who are certified to provide services to individuals on a Level One or Independent Options Medicaid Waiver.
Information on becoming a provider of Medicaid Funded Waiver Services [ + ]
Providers certified to deliver Medicaid Services are assigned a Medicaid number necessary to obtain federal reimbursement. Once certified, providers are responsible for contacting local County Boards of Developmental Disabilities (County Boards of DD) to notify them that they are eligible to provide services under the Level One (L1) and/or Individual Options (IO)Waivers.
