5-010.06 Meals Service Exceptions

473 NAC 5-010.06

When entering into contractual agreements with meals service providers, staff shall consider the following:

 1. Actual service cost in the provision of meal service is not a basis for granting a rate increase. A number of meal programs have multiple sources of funding and rate negotiation must always be explored before requesting an exception;

2. Special rates will not be granted to providers who prepare meals catering to the various dietary requirements of their clientele. Providers are required to prepare meals for special diets; and

3. No exceptions will be approved for area agencies on aging as their rates are standardized.
