Homecare Updates
The DOH released updated guidance regarding Wage Parity compliance and reporting. As expected, starting 6/1/2022, the updated reporting forms must be completed and uploaded electronically through the state’s website. The publication also reiterated the penalties for noncompliance with wage parity.
There was additional guidance targeting the role MTLC’s will have regarding ensuring a provider is compliant with Wage Parity. Though the recent publications raised more questions than they answered, it’s clear that the goal of the DOH is to hold entities accountable for their adherence to the law. The penalties for disregarding or violating the law can include civil and criminal actions.
As the expectations of the DOH become more evident, agencies should prepare for all necessary processes, including a thorough review of their wage parity obligations.

Evaluation is the process of identifying if goals are met and whether processes and systems need to be changed or eliminated. This may include the elimination or addition of staff, procedures, contracts, and systems. Utilizing your company’s expertise in streamlining processes and increasing operational efficiencies to improve your company’s outcome and have a successful transaction are imperative.
