State HCBS Transition Plans

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published the rule "Medicaid Program, State Plan Home and Community Based Services, 5-Year Period for Waivers, Provider Payment Reassignment, and Home and Community-Based Setting Requirements for Community First Choice (Section 1915(k) of the Act) and Home and Community Based Services Waiver (Section 1915(c) of the Act)" effective March 17, 2014. These regulations require states to develop a "transition plan" that details any actions necessary to achieve compliance with the settings requirements and submit to CMS for approval.  

States must submit waiver-specific transition plans for certain waivers and all states must submit statewide transition plans no later than March 17, 2015 (or earlier depending on renewals or amendments that occurred during the past year). Below, please find all approved waiver-specific transition plans.
