Prior to B&A’s formation, Gretchen Engquist and Mark Podrazik completed work for the legislatively mandated Nevada Provider Rates Task Force charged with developing a long-term strategic rate plan for community-based services for seniors, people with disabilities, and people with mental illness. Our team developed community service rates and a strategic transition plan that included service and rate-specific analyses and an overarching section that presented a strategic plan across individual rates for the payment of community services across target populations. Recommendations were also made for the development of a fiscal intermediary program, the creation of a waiver for services for individuals with autism, and a revamping of the delivery and payment of Targeted Case Management.
