The recent January 1, 2023 rate increase for Community Care facility providers did not include an adjustment for the California minimum wage effective January 1, 2023. On March 3, 2023, the Regional Center received new and updated rates from the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS). As a result, affected providers will receive retroactive payments for January and February 2023 on or around April 10, 2023. Attached is DDS’s directive and the most current rate schedule.
