Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) intends to consider amending 12VAC30-120, Waivered Services. The purpose of the proposed action is to merge the current Elderly and Disabled with Consumer Direction Waiver population with that of the Technology Assistance Waiver under the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Program. DMAS has received federal approval to create a new program known as Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) Program that will include all remaining Medicaid populations and services, including long-term care and home-based and community-based waiver services into managed care. CCC Plus will operate under a fully integrated model across the full continuum of care that includes physical health, behavioral health, community based, and institutional services with very few carved out services through person-centered care planning to ensure that members are aware of and can access community based treatment options designed to serve them in the settings of their choice.

The agency does not intend to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: § 32.1-325 of the Code of Virginia; 42 USC § 1396.

Public Comment Deadline: August 22, 2018.
