The Office of Behavioral Health has developed a transition plan for the purpose of ensuring Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) settings within the Louisiana Behavioral Health Partnership meet the requirements of a new federal rule and to allow the public an opportunity to provide input on the transition plan. The purpose of the new regulations is to ensure that individuals who receive Medicaid HCBS are integrated in and support full access to the greater community. The transition plan and related documents may be viewed at http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/page/1973 and comments and questions may be submitted to [email protected] until November 2, 2014.
