Adult Day VA rates released; new, higher rates begin February 1

The Veterans’ Administration (VA) released new rates for CY 2023 that are effective for care delivered on and after February 1, 2023. Nationally, ADS rates increased by 7%, then adjusted by the location’s wage index.  In about 10 locations, VA medical centers (VAMC) asked the VA to freeze CY 2022 rates for CY 2023 and these requests were approved; most of the locations were in Northern California. 

The fee schedule can be found here. There are 4 ADS codes:

• S5102 – Main per diem code
• S5105 – Additional services code
• S5101 – Half day per diem code
• T2003 – Transportation code – one-way 

A shortcut to scrolling is to search for the location of interest – then search the HCPC code.  

LeadingAge has asked the VA to develop an adult day-specific rate sheet.
