Can you have more than one provider in a catchment area providing the same services?

Can you have more than one provider in a catchment area providing the same services?

Yes, we can. It does not mean that we will split the EMQs as much as that we will split the financial cost, so they are equitable for both vendors. An example would be one vendor charging $10 for a service while another charges $20 for the same service, and we contract with both in the same catchment area. We would send twice as many referrals to the $10 vendor so that every month the amount spent would be equal between the two vendors.
