SUMMARY:HCBS Town Hall - Individuals and Families – Older Adults and Adults with Physical Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:In April 2024\, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Rule (Access Rule). This new rule is designed to make it easier for people to access home and community-based services (HCBS) and to improve the quality of these services. If you receive personal care\, homemaker\, home health services\, or habilitation services such as home support\, work support\, or community support\, this applies to you. The goal is to help people who receive Medicaid HCBS services have better lives and outcomes. \nAt this time\, DHHS would like to invite you to a town hall session to discuss the new CMS Access Rule and its requirements. We will explain the rule\, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback on the rule. As part of our planning\, it’s also important for us to hear from you around what is working well and where we can improve. This town hall is the first of several opportunities for you to give input that will help us create a plan to follow the new rule. Please note\, the rule includes elements about other medical services that will be addressed separately by the Office of MaineCare Services (OMS). This session will focus specifically on HCBS programs offered by the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS). \nRegister today!
