Initial Approval Granted for the 1915(c) and 1915(i) Home and Community-Based (HCB) Setting Transition Plan

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) granted the Division of Medicaid initial approval of its Statewide Transition Plan (STP) on May 25, 2017, to bring settings into compliance with the federal home and community­ based  services (HCBS) regulations found at 42 C.F.R. §§441.30l(c)(4)(5) and Section 441.710(a)(l )(2). Initial approval was granted because DOM has completed its systemic assessment; included the outcomes of this assessment in the STP; clearly outlined remediation strategies to rectify issues that the systemic assessment uncovered, such as legislative/regulatory changes and changes to vendor agreements and provider applications; and is actively working on those remediation strategies.
