Chapters 388-825, 388-828, 388-842, and 388-845 WAC The proposed changes align with HCBS waiver amendments as approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Primary waiver amendments: These amendments add: waiver eligibility for children and youth age 20 and younger who are subject to a court dependency or a similar proceeding in a tribal court or are receiving extended foster care services from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) or from a Tribe in Washington state; technical information about service plan collaboration; teleservice delivery as a service delivery method for some services. These amendments adjust: waiver enrollment limits; language about cross-agency collaboration; the service definition for transportation; provider qualifications for music therapists; level-of-care and inter-rate reliability level of care evaluation processes. These amendments clarify: teleservice language in all services where teleservice delivery is now available; waiver service definitions and service limit language across all five waivers. |
