DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Opportunity for Public Comment on the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Waiver
The Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) welcomes public comment regarding the submission to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of an amended application for the following § 1915(c) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waiver: Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC+) Waiver.
The § 1915(c) HCBS Waiver amendment application can be located at https://dmas.virginia.gov/for-members/benefits-and-services/waivers/ccc-plus-waiver/.
The state is requesting amendments to:
1. Change Adult Day Health Care from a daily rate to an hourly rate; however, such reimbursement is limited to no more than six hours per day. This reimbursement rate adjustment must be budget neutral and not increase the cost of this service.
2. Remove the Eligibility Group "Working Individuals with disabilities who buy into Medicaid (TWWIIA Basic Coverage Group as provided in § 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XV) of the Act)" under the waiver.
3. Correct requirements for when a legally responsible individual is a paid caregiver and the individual uses the consumer-directed model. The prior language references an incorrect form and an "enhanced enrollment agreement" that has been incorporated into the standard enrollment packet by the fiscal-employer agents.
4. Update the fee-for-service service plan development process with the establishment of designated persons "FFS LOCERI Quality Analysts" to perform the function. The prior language references that the state will obtain a contractor to perform this function. The state has had a contractor in place to perform service plan development for this population since 2024.
