Description
The State of Alaska’s Department of Health is seeking qualified assisted‑living home providers to enter into a General Relief Provider Agreement. Providers will deliver 24‑hour supportive and protective services (excluding continuous nursing) to eligible adults receiving General Relief benefits. Reimbursement is per‑day, varying by region ($70‑$96.60) with possible augmented rates up to $22 additional per day. Providers must hold current Alaska assisted‑living licenses, maintain required insurance, submit monthly invoices, and comply with HIPAA, reporting, and audit requirements. The agreement is open statewide and continues until terminated by either party with 30‑day notice.
• Eligible providers: licensed assisted‑living homes (for‑profit, non‑profit, Alaska Native entities, or political subdivisions).
• Services: daily supportive care, resident monitoring, coordination with case managers, and mandatory reporting of abuse/neglect.
• Payment: daily rates based on region; invoices submitted monthly; providers must bill other payers first.
• Compliance: licensing, insurance (WC, CGL, auto, professional liability), background checks, OSHA, HIPAA, and equal‑employment statutes.
• Reporting: monthly invoices, client activity forms within 10 days of status changes, and periodic audits.
