Waiver Renewal
The Department of Health has applied to renew OPWDD’s Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Comprehensive Waiver agreement with the federal Medicaid program effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029.
Once it is approved, the renewal will do several things.
- It will continue funding for all current HCBS Waiver services and allow OPWDD to support new people to receive waiver services. Each year more people are expected to enroll in the Waiver. By September 30, 2029, the HCBS Waiver is expected to serve 114,000 people.
- The renewal will also allow OPWDD to begin contracting with providers for a new service called Home-Enabling Supports. Home Enabling Supports are assistive devices or services that help someone be more independent. This service was added to the Waiver in October 2023.
- The renewal will align how OPWDD measures quality improvement with federal requirements.
- The renewal will update OPWDD’s Medicaid payment descriptions but will not affect service provider reimbursement.
Public Comment Period is January 24-February 26, 2024
The public is invited to comment on this proposed HCBS Waiver renewal, beginning today January 24, 2024 through February 26, 2024.
