NEW SCHEDULE CHANGES: Case Management Redesign (CMRD) Rule Revision Stakeholder Feedback Meeting Series
Based on the flow and progress of the meetings held so far, the Department has made further changes to the CMRD Rule Revision stakeholder meeting series. Please see the current schedule below.
Background
The Department will update rules and regulations pertaining to HCBS waivers and non-waiver programs to come into alignment with new CMRD statute, policy, and language. Rule updates are required to clean up areas in existing rule and waivers that are repetitious, obsolete, or difficult to follow and understand. CMRD also implements changes to the rule structure. The vision behind the structure change is to make the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) rules easier to find, read and understand for all stakeholders. Rules must be in effect no later than Nov. 1, 2023, at which point the first cohort of new Case Management Agencies under CMRD will transition.
The Department wants to hear from stakeholders about each of the rule revision topics listed below to ask questions and receive feedback based on your knowledge and experience with navigating HCBS rules. The goal is to make these rule revisions work for all HCBS stakeholders. The Department will post the section of rule or waiver to be discussed on the CMRD webpage one week prior to each meeting. Stakeholder engagement, feedback, and Department responses will be tracked through listening logs posted on the CMRD webpage.
Note: The revised meeting information below is posted on the OCL Stakeholder Engagement & Calendar webpage.
