Kickoff Meeting Presented Materials and Upcoming Provider Engagement Sessions for HCBS Providers of Clinical, Therapy, Care Coordination, Supportive Skills Building, Assistive Technology & Personal Support Services

As previously announced in our June 2024, bulletin, the Department has initiated a rate determination process for certain services under Sections 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, 29, 40, 96, and 102. Please see our previously posted code and service category list which identifies the services that will be included in this rate determination.

On August 28, 2024, the Department with its vendor Public Consulting Group, held a virtual public kickoff meeting for interested parties. The Department introduced the project team and presented the goals, process and timeline for this work including opportunities for future provider engagement sessions.

You may view the presented materials and a recording of the meeting on our Rate System Reform webpage. We strongly encourage any interested parties who did not make it to the public kickoff meeting to review these materials.
