Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Final Rule 

In March 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted updates to federal regulation regarding Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) to promote:

  • Person Centered Planning
  • Individualized Services
  • Access to the Full Benefit of Community Life

These services and supports to individuals are with the intent of diverting or transitioning individuals from institutional settings into their homes and the community. Service providers including those contracted through the Self Determination Program (SDP) are expected to be in compliance upon initiation of services.

  • By 8/31/24, we are required to conduct a monitoring review of ALL HCBS settings – CCFs, Day Programs (site-based) , Child Day Care Centers, WAPs, and SEP Groups We will begin this formal review process in January 2024. 

  • SG/PRC will utilize the current monitoring schedule for those to be evaluated between January and August 2024.  We may need to do a second monitoring visit in 2024 for some programs.
