NOTICE FOR A PUBLIC FORUM<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

The State of Hawaii, Department of Human Services and Department of Health (the State) published a public notice on August 12, 2019 to notify the public of the opportunity to comment on the proposed transition plan for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Settings for Hawaii’s 1115 QUEST Integration and 1915(c) Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Waiver, which provides home and community services as an alternative to institutionalization.<\/p>\n

The transition plan for HCBS settings are required as outlined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 42 C.F.R. §441.301(c)(4). The purpose of the transition plan is to ensure Medicaid beneficiaries are receiving HCBS in settings that meet the quality requirements specified in the final rule and are appropriately based on the needs of the individual as indicated in their person-centered service plan. The final rule provides the State the opportunity to develop a transition plan that encompasses a period of up to five (5) years after the effective date of the regulation to meet the provisions of the final rule. <\/p>\n

The State has revised the initial transition plan submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These changes incorporate the complete assessment of settings and heightened scrutiny process as part of the transition plan and as result of these changes, the State hereby notifies the public of the opportunity to comment on these revisions.<\/p>\n

The State will hold public forums to seek input on the <\/font>revised <\/i><\/font>transition plan as described in this notification. <\/p>\n
