- The interested provider contacts the Admissions Coordinator indicating their desire to enter into an affiliate contract.
- The Admissions Coordinator explains the documentation needed and follows up with a letter specifying what documentation is required. This letter is sent along with a copy of the Affiliate Agreement to the provider.
- The Admissions Coordinator will answer follow-up questions and provide support and/or guidance throughout the application phase.
- The service provider will forward all required documents and the signed Affiliate Agreement to the Admissions Coordinator. Once everything has been obtained, the Admissions Coordinator will review the packet and forward it to the CDDO President for signature.
- A signed copy of the Affiliate Agreement will be sent to the service provider for their records.
- The provider will be added to the Affiliated Community Service Providers list. This list is impartially reviewed annually and as needed with eligible individuals receiving IDD services within the catchment area.
- The CDDO maintains a copy of all the Affiliate Agreements and required documents, and monitors that affiliates update their documentation requirements as needed.
