About this file

This is a Fee Table document for the Caregiver Supports Program in Washington State, establishing reimbursement rates for direct care services effective October 15, 2025. The document outlines a rate-based contract structure for Placement Support Managers and Behavioral Case Aides who provide supports to children and youth in out-of-home placements across 12 defined geographic zones within Washington. Services include resource support at seven levels, case aide hourly services, placement support management, and engagement support. The fee schedule accommodates regional variations, with Zone 4 (Seattle-King) offering the highest reimbursement rates and Zones 1 and 2 offering lower rates. Authorized Case Aide services range from 9 to 20 hours per month depending on behavioral support level, with Placement Support Managers expected to maintain caseloads between 12 and 25 cases depending on complexity level.

Compensation structure combines capacity-based billing (48% of caregiver rates paid as monthly capacity payments per FTE) with fee-for-service reimbursement. The document includes detailed Fair Wages standards specifying yearly compensation and benefits for Placement Support Managers ($58,267–$68,300 annually depending on region), Behavioral Case Aides ($45,900–$53,000 annually), and supporting staff including supervisors, program managers, and administrative personnel. Total FTE costs per position type are provided by zone, incorporating wages, payroll taxes, health insurance contributions ($4,200 annually per FTE), paid time off, and training expenses. The model accounts for operational overhead including office space, utilities, insurance, bookkeeping, and equipment. Manager supplemental funding caps at $8,853–$10,276 monthly by zone to ensure adequate management capacity, and engagement support funding ranges from $592–$9,772 depending on catchment area and average placement moves.
