b. Payment Calculations

Payments for the service month shall be calculated based upon submission of the completed invoice. The amount of the CCAP payment shall be determined by adding or subtracting the amounts listed in subdivisions (2) and (3) of this subsection to the lesser of the following amounts: the approved cost of care calculated in subdivision (a)(3) of section 17b-749-13 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; plus any supplemental payments authorized for the provider under subsection (a) and subdivision (b)(4) of section 17b-749-16 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies; or the provider’s actual charges for the service month.

Incentives for accreditation and professional development authorized under subsection (d) of section 17b-749-13 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies that are paid as a percentage increase in the payment shall be added to the amount calculated in subdivision (1) of this subsection. Lump sum and flat rate incentives may be issued together with the regular monthly payment or paid separately.

The allocated monthly fee determined in subsection (f) of section 17b-749-13 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies and any reductions due to the recoupment of an overpayment or mandated withholding shall be deducted from the sum of the amounts calculated in subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection. The resulting total shall be the CCAP payment amount. Payments shall be prorated if the child is eligible for payment for only part of the month. Parents shall be responsible for any costs not covered by CCAP.
