* Opening Remarks

Alissa Deboy, Director of the Medicaid Benefits and Health Program Group (CMCS)

Moderator – Jill Darling (OC)


* Announcements & Updates

Building on the information shared during the May 7th, 2024 Long-Term Services and Support Open Door Forum, CMS will share a brief overview of the home and community-based services (HCBS) provisions in the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule [ https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-10/pdf/2024-08363.pdf ] including a deeper-dive on what is commonly referred to as the “HCBS payment adequacy provision”. This provision of the final rule requires that within six years, states generally ensure a minimum of 80% of Medicaid payments for homemaker, home health aide, and personal care services be spent on compensation for direct care workers furnishing these services, subject to certain flexibilities and exceptions. CMS will also provide an overview of related reporting requirements. After the overview, CMS will pose a series of questions and stakeholders will have an opportunity  to provide information to CMS that will help inform implementation of this provision.


* Open Q&A

For questions, please email: LTSS@cms.hhs.gov
