How it works: BHDD OIDD contracts with a federally certified Quality Improvement Organization (Alliant ASO, contract signed December 2023) to conduct ACIS (Administrative Compliance and Individual Services) Reviews for all contracted services, including case management, day, employment, in-home supports and residential habilitation, and Licensing Reviews for Day Facilities, CTH I and II, and SLP II settings. Key Indicators include Administrative Indicators (staff qualifications, training, committee reviews) and Services Indicators.
Timing and notice:
| Item | Timing or notice |
|---|---|
| Typical ACIS review cycle | 18 months for most providers (OIDD describes initial reviews as 12 to 18 months based on prior performance) |
| New providers | Reviewed 3 to 6 months after delivering their first service |
| Follow-up reviews | Usually 4 to 6 months after the prior review; cover prior-cited indicators |
| Administrative Indicator reviews | 48 hours' notice |
| Individual record reviews | No prior notice |
| Licensing renewals: Day Facilities, CTH II, SLP II | 2 hours' notice |
| Licensing renewals: CTH I, Respite | 24 hours' notice |
| New applications | 24 hours' notice |
After a review:
| Step | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Final report posted in the QIO Portal | Within 45 calendar days of the review start |
| Plan of Correction due | Within 30 days of the report |
| Corrections completed | Within 90 days of posting |
| Appeals | Through the QIO to OIDD |
Not published: OIDD sources reviewed do not publish numeric score thresholds that decide between cycles.
Practical takeaway: Keep a standing response protocol for short-notice reviews and track Plan of Correction deadlines.
