New Medicaid Waiver Rules Take Effect

After nine years and multiple delays, a new Medicaid rule establishing standards for what counts as home and community-based services for people with disabilities will take effect this week, but many states remain ill-prepared.

The deadline for states to come into compliance with the so-called “settings rule” is Friday.

The 2014 regulation from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requires that programs meet certain criteria in order to qualify as community based and be eligible for funding provided by Medicaid home and community-based services waivers.
