Children's Long-Term Support (CLTS) Waiver Renewals Posted for Public Comment

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is planning to submit requests to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to renew the CLTS § 1915(c) home and community-based services waiver and the § 1915(b)(4) waiver that allows counties to be the sole provider of support and service coordination.

DHS is seeking public comment on its waiver renewal applications. Provider input on the changes is important for ensuring that the final draft of the application is the best it can be.

How this may affect you as a provider of CLTS Waiver Program services

The proposed changes include adding new services, changing definitions for existing services, and updating provider qualifications.

The draft waiver renewal applications and more information on the proposed changes are available on the CLTS Waiver Renewal webpage.
