CMS Final Rule for HCBS Waivers

On April 18, 2018, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) held a webinar with all interested parties to give an overview of the HCBS Provider Self-Assessment, which included answering some recent questions received by ODP. A recording of the webinar and the accompanying PowerPoint are available at CMS Final Rule for HCBS Waivers (included in ODP Communication Number: 047-18).
