HTP Program Status and Overview

In June, the Department informed stakeholders of the transition to a State Plan Amendment (SPA) for the initial implementation of the developed HTP components. Since then, many stakeholders have reached out to Department staff with questions about the timing of outstanding program components. In order to answer these questions, we have created a document outlining the tasks and program design components remaining before the SPA and Section 1115 waiver can be submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This document can be found on the HTP website.

As it has been throughout the development of the HTP, the Department remains committed to a development process that is open, transparent, and inclusive of stakeholder and community input and feedback.

Final Report documents

As Final Reports for the Community & Health Neighborhood Engagement (CHNE) process are due September 20, 2019, we have added the Final Report template and Final Report question-specific criteria to the HTP website.

Final Reports, submitted at the end of the pre-waiver CHNE process, must include information about the entirety of the CHNE process with a primary focus on efforts to prioritize community needs, select target populations, identify initiatives, and develop and solidify partnerships. Final Reports must be submitted in .pdf form by September 20, 2019 at 5 p.m. to the HTP email address as r eports received after this deadline will not be considered. Following submission, reports will be reviewed by an independent analyst. Final Reports will not be scored and the Department will work collaboratively with participants as they work on their applications to address any questions or concerns.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, thank you.
