Connecticut Department of Developmental Services needs your feedback on Medicaid services using Home and Community Based Waivers! Please complete the survey below. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a new rule for states that provide Medicaid services using Home and Community Based Waivers. The new rule defines qualities that should be present when and where individuals receive supports, and sets an expectation for states and providers to ensure individual choice and participation in their daily lives and planning. The rule tells states that they have to help people be integrated in their communities and make sure that people know their rights and have choices in all areas of their lives. This means a person can choose to live independently, or can choose to share a room or live in a group home without a lease. Each persons situation needs to be reviewed and documented in their Individual Plan. DDS is partnering with stakeholders and Community Provider representatives to develop a planning process to comply with the Settings Rule called the Statewide Transition Plan. DDS will host an information session on the Transition Plan on Monday December 15th at the CT Legislative Office Building where stakeholders can ask questions.
