Management Redesign (CMRD) Rule Revision Stakeholder Feedback Meeting Series

The Department will update rules and regulations pertaining to HCBS waivers and non-waiver programs to come into alignment with new CMRD statute, policy, and language. Rule updates are required to clean up areas in existing rule and waivers that are repetitious, obsolete, or difficult to follow and understand. CMRD also implements changes to the rule structure. The vision behind the structure change is to make the HCBS rules easier to find, read and understand for all stakeholders. Rules must be in effect no later than Nov. 1, 2023, at which point the first cohort of new Case Management Agencies under CMRD will transition.

The Department wants to hear from stakeholders about each of the rule revision topics listed below to ask questions and receive feedback based on your knowledge and experience with navigating HCBS rules. The goals is to make these rule revisions work for all HCBS stakeholders. The Department will post the section of rule or waiver to be discussed on the CMRD webpage one week prior to each meeting. Stakeholder engagement, feedback, and Department responses will be tracked through listening logs posted on the CMRD webpage.

Note: The 2022 meetings below are posted on the OCL Stakeholder Engagement Calendar. You can copy them from the calendar to your individual calendar from there. The 2023 meetings below will be posted on the OCL calendar before the end of December 2022.
