Themes Identified From CMS’ Heightened Scrutiny Site Visits — Webinar on November 16
Date: November 16, 2022
Time: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm EST
The Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Final Rule was made effective on March 17, 2014. The settings rule set specific requirements for settings presumed to have institutional characteristics, including settings in institutions, settings on the grounds of or adjacent to a public institution, and settings that have qualities that isolate Medicaid beneficiaries. Referred to as “presumptively institutional settings,” states are required to assess these settings and, where the state has determined that the setting overcomes the institutional presumption and the setting complies or will comply with the settings rule by March 17, 2023, submit to CMS documentation that demonstrates the setting’s compliance. CMS has launched a series of heightened scrutiny site visits to presumptively institutional settings in states. This training will cover:
- An overview of CMS’ heightened scrutiny site visit process;
- Overarching themes identified during CMS’ heightened scrutiny site visits; and
- Considerations for states moving forward.
Following the presentation, webinar participants will have the opportunity to share any questions, comments, experiences, or suggestions with CMS and the presenter.

OLTL Update for Brain Injury Committee — November 16, 2022
Due to a scheduling conflict with the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) participating in RCPA’s Brain Injury Committee meeting on October 26, 2022, OLTL has agreed to provide their update via a separate webcast. The update/webcast has been scheduled for November 16, 2022, at 11:00 am and will be led by Randy Nolen. The topics of discussion include:
- Clarification of the role of the Service Coordinators and the process providers should use for reporting inaccuracies, etc. Providers are experiencing an increase of SCs telling families and providers that job functions are not their job, including not assisting participants, families/support persons, and providers with issues such as the participant needing a higher or lower level of care.
- Updates on the next RFP for the CHC-MCOs.
- Consideration of a bed hold provision and how this could help ease some financial strain for the BI providers. Is this something that can be included in the next RFP for the CHC-MCOs?
- Possibility and consideration of having a BI Specialist within OLTL and the CHC-MCOs.
- With only 25% of ARPA funds spent, is there a possibility of applying for more?
- Status/update on the checklist that was shared in April 2022.
- Updates on next steps from OLTL regarding CMS’ HCBS quality measure set.
