HCBS Statewide Transition Plan

​​​The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule for Medicaid Home and Community Based Services effective March 17, 2014. The final rule requires states to ensure people receiving Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) have the benefits of community living. 

Each state must review policies, practices, and settings where HCBS are provided. Each state must have a plan for this review and making any changes needed. This plan is called the Statewide Transition Plan.
