HCBS Statewide Transition Plan

The Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule, issued by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, states that all HCBS must be delivered in settings that are integrated in and support full access to their community. This includes opportunities to seek employment and work in competitive settings within the community, engage in a community life, control personal resources, and receive services in a similar way as individuals who do not receive HCBS.

To view the approved Statewide Transition Plan documents, please visit the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services website.
