Stay Safe, Be Prepared
With the holidays coming up, we need to continue to be diligent with mask wearing and social distancing to ensure all are protected and safe during this pandemic. As a reminder, if you find you are in need of critical PPE due to the person you support testing positive, or additional supplies for providing services in a healthy and safe manner, please contact the provider support email at providersupport@mcbdd.org. 
Technology First Conference
The Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities is hosting a Technology First Conference on November 18 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. The virtual event is open statewide, and will be presented via Zoom or Facebook Live. Follow below to register and learn more.
Independent Providers Needed
Are you:

  • Willing to serve someone who has been exposed to Covid-19 or is ill with the virus?
  • Available to fill in without much notice?
  • Willing to go to an individual’s home?

As cases have continued to rise, we want to make sure all individuals feel supported and safe during this difficult time. In an effort to plan accordingly, we are developing a crisis team of independent providers who could assist in the event an agency or family does not have the capacity to provide the necessary support.

While assisting an agency, independent providers would be able to bill their typical HPC rate. MCBDD would also be willing to provide full PPE if it is needed.

If you would be willing to assist, please email Courtney Jordan, Provider Relations and Family Support Services Specialist, at courtneyj@mcbdd.org.
CMOR Survey: Happening Now
MCBDD is currently conducting their stakeholder satisfaction survey. The purpose of this survey is to understand opinions about services received, as well as to help identify ways we can improve satisfaction and services in the future.

This is a random survey, so some individuals and/or family members/guardians of individuals who receive services from MCBDD may be receiving a phone call requesting participation in the survey. If anyone should contact you about the survey please assure them that we are working with a survey company (CMOR) to conduct it and all information will be confidential.
Provider Network Module
The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) will rollout a single-entry Provider Network Module (PNM) in March 2021. In preparation for this implementation, PSM will be undergoing modifications for PNM to become the single entry point. Click below for additional information.

Please Note: It is important that all contact information is updated and correct in the PSM.
