Materials from March 2026 LTSS Meeting

In addition to the OLTL updates, key items presented included the trends in PAS Person-Centered Plans and ensuing reductions in hours. This highlighted significant differences between the three CHC-MCOs.

The in-depth presentation of Assisted Living Facilities as an “in lieu of” service provides the platform for potentially introducing this setting as part of the acceptable community settings, where other waiver services may be delivered. This would also be a departure from Pennsylvania’s definition of HCBS settings, but aligns with 23 other states where Assisted Living is included in the HCBS waivers.
