Presentation of Related OCL Projects Affecting Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Members
During the April 2023 Community First Choice (CFC) Council and Children's Disability Advisory Committee (CDAC) meetings, OCL will make presentations tying together projects that impact HCBS waiver members, including:
- Case Management Redesign (CMRD)
- Children’s Home and Community-Based Services (CHCBS) and Children with Life-Limiting Illness (CLLI) waiver merger
- Community First Choice (CFC)
These projects impact all HCBS waivers and members, but especially CHCBS Waiver members. The presentations will cover how each project is connected and OCL's solutions to ensure seamless transition for waiver members, while also expanding services.
Background
-
CFC is an option for states to provide HCBS through Colorado's Medicaid state plan. Service plans are person-centered and allow for services to be self-directed to promote independence in the community. Consumer-Directed Attendant Support Services (CDASS) is a consumer-directed service delivery option that will be available under CFC.
-
Case Management Redesign (CMRD) refers to several initiatives that will help make accessing long-term services and supports easier by changing case management agencies to serve all HCBS waivers so people have one place to go, making sure there are the right number of case management agencies in Colorado, and increasing the quality of case management services.
CFC Council Meeting
The CFC Council collaborates with the Department on the design and implementation of a CFC option in Colorado. The CFC Council needs the input from Coloradans with Disabilities, Coloradans over 65 years or older, and advocates to help ensure CFC is implemented in a way that best meets Colorado’s needs. Everyone is welcome!
