Payment Reimbursement Procedures DJS has established a funding formula for the reimbursement of costs associated with the three components of the SDSS Program. Reimbursement schedules and the required documentation are discussed in detail in the individual descriptions of the components. In general however, Attendant Care and Transportation costs will be reimbursed in full and Detention costs will be reimbursed on a 50 percent basis. An exception is that all renovation approved for reimbursement for either supervision setting, must be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis. All jurisdictions or private agencies that elect to provide Attendant Care will have a signed agreement between themselves and DJS regarding expectations and arrangements for the provision of SDSS. These guidelines, including the specifications regarding payment procedures and payment schedules, will be made a part of the agreement. DJS requests that any billings for reimbursement of services be submitted upon completion of each month. DJS or its designee will pay each provider following completion ofthe month, after services have been established and verified. The local jurisdiction or private agency may establish the format for billings, as long as the information and documentation detailed in the following sections is provided. If the agency does not have a preferred billing format, proposed formats are provided as Appendix Band C. July 2008 - Page 2
