We are working with our Medicaid agency.  But the best work we are doing is by bringing stakeholders together.  This is a joint effort between GCDD, the P&A, the UCEDDs and the ARC.  We have hired Alison Barkoff to work with us on what the plan says and should do.

Subject: DD Councils CMS Final settings rule

 

Are  other DD Councils working with the state agencies on implementing the CMS settings rule changes.  If so I would like to start a discussion on how best to implement the changes to get quality outcomes from services.  We seem to be hung up on no new money vs. quality integrated settings.
