DDCS is enacting these changes to implement home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers as approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). These amendments add: waiver eligibility for children and youth age 20 and younger who are subject to a court dependency or a similar proceeding in a tribal court or are receiving extended foster care services from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) or from a tribe in Washington state, technical information about service plan collaboration, and teleservice delivery as a service delivery method for some services. These amendments amend: waiver enrollment limits, language about cross-agency collaboration, the service definition for transportation, provider qualifications for music therapists, level-of-care and inter-rate reliability level of care evaluation processes. These amendments clarify: teleservice language in all services where teleservice delivery is now available, waiver service definitions, and service limit language across all five waivers.
