HCBS rules

[Autism Society of Southern AZ]

AHCCCS conducted a preliminary assessment of Arizona’s HCBS (home and community based services) settings to determine its level of compliance, provide recommendations for identified variances, and outline a process for continuous monitoring. The assessment process included a review of statutes, rules, policies and contract language. 

 

AHCCCS will publish its draft assessment of Arizona’s HCBS settings and the draft transition plan to seek public comment on or before August 1, 2015.  The public comment period will be for the month of August (August 1 – 31, 2015). AHCCCS will host a round of public forums throughout the state. As part of the public comment period, AHCCCS will disseminate surveys to randomly selected members and providers to further assess a baseline of the state’s assessment and how the rules might currently be employed in practice.  The survey responses will be anonymous. 

 

Attached is a flyer for the statewide public forums along with a brief overview and background of the new rules please take a moment to review and respond.
