Virtual Public Hearing

Alta California Regional Center will be holding a virtual public hearing on 9/23/2022 at 12:30pm to discuss a proposal to waive the use of the statewide median rate pursuant to Welfare and Institution Code § 4691.9(a) for ACRC’s vendored psychologists in an effort to increase availability of these providers. This will afford ACRC the ability to complete timely eligibility reviews for client applicants. ACRC believes that waiving this statute will increase provider availability and, as a result, quicken the timeline for eligibility determination for client/family access to regional center services. ACRC estimates this waiver would increase purchase of service spending by roughly $1,025,000 per year directly related to psychological evaluations. Please join us on 9/23/2022 at 12:30 pm to review this proposal. ACRC will be accepting oral and written comments through 10/7/2022.  You may send these comments to Community Services Specialist Nicole Smith at nsmith@altaregional.org or (916) 978-6267.
