OCDD Home and Community-Based Services Setting Transition Plan

Previous Tools and Transition Plan Versions

The Department of Health submitted a transition plan to CMS that explains how the state will bring its HCBS waivers into compliance with the new regulations. This plan was drafted through a collaborative effort by the Office of Aging and Adult Services, the Office of Behavioral Health, the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities, and Medicaid. CMS reviewed all states' Statewide Transition Plans and provided feedback to each state on specific issues requiring revision or clarification in the STP. Louisiana received the CMS feedback letter on October 15, 2015, and addressed the CMS issues in the document titled "LA Response to CMS STP Feedback Letter 12-18-15". This feedback letter refers to Appendices which contain more detailed information, and this is found in the link "Appendices for LA Response to CMS STP Feedback Letter 12-18-15". In addition, corresponding revisions were made 12-18-15 to the STP ("Revised LA STP with Tracked Changes 12-18-15") and the Current Work Plan Master ("Current Louisiana STP Work Plan Master Updated 12-18-15"). These four documents were submitted to CMS December 18, 2015.
