            Provider Agency Registration

                                               

Step One:        Appoint a CDS Administrator for your agency

 

            Step Two:        Contact CDS at 877-353-2767. They will send you an Intent to

Participate Application via email and prepare your Administrative Agreement from the information you supply.  The CDS Administrative Fee in your agreement is based upon the number of individuals served by your agency, according to the schedule below:

 

                                    Fifteen or fewer individuals served by agency: $1,800 annually

                                   

                                    Sixteen to thirty individuals served by agency: $2,400 annually

 

                                    Greater than 30 individuals served by agency: $2,800 annually

 

The Administrative Agreement is for a three-year period with the option to cancel in writing 60 days prior to each anniversary date of the Agreement.

                       

            Step Three:     Mail your signed agreement to:

Step Four:       Elsevier, the parent company for MC Strategies, Inc., will invoice you for the administrative fee. The CDS implementation team will contact you when your agency has been added to the site, usually within 2-3 business days. Your Implementation Coordinator will work with you to set a convenient date and time for your initial implementation.

           

            County Registration            

 

            Step One:        Appoint a CDS point person for your county(ies)

 

Step Two:        The CDS point person should contact the technology support staff for the ODP Consulting System.  They will assist you in completing the registration paperwork.  The technology staff from the ODP Consulting System is Sherri Graven who can be contacted at: mailto:cdssupport@tiu11.org

Registration paper work will be sent to the County CDS point person by email.  If you have questions about completing the paperwork contact Sherri Graven at: mailto:cdssupport@tiu11.org
