COVID-19 Webinar for 1915(c) HCBS Waivers

The Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) - Division of Community Alternatives (DCA) held a webinar this morning to highlight updates to the 1915(c) HCBS waivers to help participants and providers through the COVID-19 state of emergency. The webinar presentation and a recording of the webinar are now available for viewing on the DCA website.

Due to restrictions on the size of the webinar, we know not everyone who wanted to take part was able to log on. DMS plans to hold a second webinar to answer questions about the updates very soon. Please keep an eye out for a notification. 

In the meantime, you can review the webinar presentation, the webinar recording and our COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions for 1915(c) HCBS waivers for guidance. We also have a listing of COVID-19 guidance issued to providers on the DCA website.

If you cannot find the information you need in these resources, please email the 1915(c) Waiver Help Desk at [email protected] or call (844) 784-5614. 

Again, DMS is working diligently to get information to our participants, families, and providers as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we all work through this unprecedented situation together.
