It would be nice if life was that simple. If everyone would like to set up a conference call I can go over it, if not, will need to wait until the next policy meeting.

Subject: RE: OPRA Policy Committee 4/15 Meeting
Sensitivity: Confidential

I went through the questions on the NCI staff stability survey due 5/31/19. As the questions are presented, DODD will not be able to directly compare to the “Hourly Compensation (wages + ERE). My plan is to “reference” questions within the survey that will need to be input into an excel worksheet in order to do this “apples to apples” comparison, taking into account cost of business categories for each provider.
