DSHS began revising the Payor of Last Resort policy sometime in 2006. After several publicized revisions, the final policy was adopted in June 2007. This later-than-planned adoption date has led to some confusion around timelines for implementing the policy's required elements. DSHS has therefore crafted a memo to help clarify expectations. Also included is DSHS' payor of last resort policy and waiver form, and BVCOG's revised subcontractor policies (which includes a payor of last resort policy)
