Rule 173-39-02.5 | ODA provider certification: home maintenance and chores.
(A) "Home maintenance and chores" means the service defined in rule 5160-44-12 of the Administrative Code.
(B) Requirements for every ODA-certified provider of home maintenance and chores:
(1) The provider is subject to rule 173-39-02 of the Administrative Code.
(2) The provider is subject to rule 5160-44-12 of the Administrative Code.
(3) If a conflict exists between a requirement in rule 173-39-02 of the Administrative Code and a requirement in rule 5160-44-12 of the Administrative Code, the provider shall comply with the requirement in rule 173-39-02 of the Administrative Code instead of the conflicting requirement in rule 5160-44-12 of the Administrative Code.
(C) Units and rates:
(1) For the PASSPORT program, the appendix to rule 5160-1-06.1 of the Administrative Code lists the following:
(a) One unit of home maintenance and chores as one job.
(b) The maximum-allowable rate per job.
(2) For the PASSPORT program, rule 5160-31-07 of the Administrative Code establishes the rate-setting methodology for home maintenance and chores provided through the PASSPORT program, which requires the unit rate to be negotiated between the provider and ODA's designee. The negotiated rate includes all administrative, labor, and material costs for a specific job. The PASSPORT program does not pay for any amount in excess of the negotiated rate, unless ODA's designee revises the negotiated rate in one of the following situations:
(a) ODA's designee revises the rate before the provider begins the job.
(b) ODA's designee revises the rate to coincide with authorizing the provider to address an unforeseen issue as part of the original job.
