The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has submitted the updated statewide transition plan for final approval to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The HCBS settings rule requires states to develop a transition plan for reaching and maintaining compliance with the rule. Wisconsin's current plan for meeting the rule's requirements was last posted for public comment in March 2017 and submitted to CMS for review and approval. CMS gave initial approval of the statewide transition plan in July 2017. CMS then requested that updates and revisions be made and that DHS repost the updated plan for public comment. The updated statewide transition plan now reflects the updates and revisions CMS requested along with public comments from July 2021.
