The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Division of Tribal Affairs, in collaboration with the CMS Medicaid Benefits and Health Programs Group, is holding an All Tribes Webinar on Wednesday, June 22, 2023 from 3:30-4:30 pm Eastern Time to provide an overview of home and community-based services (HCBS) provisions in the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services (CMS 2442-P) proposed rule and to discuss flexibilities under Medicaid to continue paying family caregivers as providers, following the end of the Public Health Emergency (PHE).

Over the past several decades, HCBS have become a critical component of the Medicaid program and are part of a larger framework of progress toward community integration of older adults and people of all ages with disabilities that spans efforts across the Federal government.

CMS recently released the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services (CMS 2442-P) notice of proposed rule-making. We invite participants to attend our session to understand the HCBS provisions included in the proposed rule and to hear about and how they relate to the American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

This webinar will describe how CMS is proposing to establish a strategy for oversight, monitoring, quality assurance, and quality improvement for HCBS programs and discuss other important proposed policies related to HCBS. In addition, presenters will go over family caregiving reimbursement flexibilities continued after the PHE.
All materials for this All Tribes Engagement Webinar can be found our Spotlight page at https://go.cms.gov/AIAN

There will be a 60-day comment period for CMS 2442-P notice of proposed rulemaking, and comments must be submitted to the Federal Register no later than July 3, 2023.
