Provider Availability Assessment
Goals for 2010
Shared understanding of LMHA needs and provider interests and capacity at the local level
Mutually beneficial procurement provisions
Successful procurement
New Step in Planning Process
Follow-up contact between LMHA and provider required
Initiated by LMHA using DSHS website LMHA specifies teleconference or visit LMHA provides scheduling flexibility Provider has 45 days to participate
New Provision The LMHA may conclude that a provider
is not interested in contracting with the LMHA if the provider does not participate in a teleconference or in-person meeting (whichever is requested by LMHA) within 45 days.
LMHA must assume provider is interested if LMHA does not initiate contact
Significance An LMHA is not obligated to go through
procurement if no providers have demonstrated interest in contracting with the LMHA
DSHS may contact providers to confirm LMHA conclusions regarding provider interest
Content of Meeting
Local conditions Community needs and preferences DSHS requirements Provider experience and capacity Provider needs and preferences Level of provider interest
Purpose LMHAs and providers have complete
information for decision-making Providers can focus on areas with
greatest potential for success LMHAs avoid unsuccessful procurement
