HCBS Settings Final Rule 2024 Training Sessions

October 15, 2024

This training is MANDATORY for Adult Day Cares, Doorways or Pathways to maintain enrollment (MO HealthNet) and license (DHSS).  MMAC will not accept attestations this year from providers who fail to attend.  At least one person from each enrolled Adult Day Care, Doorways or Pathways must attend.

 

Sessions will be held virtually via WebEx.  We will start at 9:00 am and should last 90 minutes.  You only need to attend ONE of the dates below to meet the requirement.

This year is the third year, and it bears repeating, MMAC will not allow for attestations because providers couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t attend.  This is a CMS (federal government) requirement to maintain your funding.  Failure to have someone (owner or someone associated with your agency) attend either of these MANDATORY trainings will result in sanctions from MMAC.

Once someone has attended the session, the agency will then be required to submit their annual HCBS Settings Self-Assessment and HCBS Assurances forms.  For tracking purposes, please do not submit these forms until after the training session.  Forms are available on the MMAC website and I will also go over where you can find them during the training sessions.
