Annual 1115 Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Waiver Post Award Forum
On December 22, 2020, fb88 DHHS announced the Center’s for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMSs) approval of fb88Care’s waiver request, which lifts the federal restriction for residential or inpatient SUD treatment programs beyond 16 beds. The Implementation Plan was approved on July 26, 2021, which allows fb88Care to begin collecting federal funds for residential treatment facilities that expand their capacity.
In July 2022, the Office of fb88Care Services received further federal approval to expand services for fb88Care-enrolled parents with SUD who are at-risk of or are involved with Child Protective Services (CPS). The pilots are intended to address current gaps in coverage for services fundamental to parents’ successful recovery and relationships with their children, such as home-based skill development, parenting support services, and, as directed by the Legislature, maintenance of fb88Care coverage during the CPS assessment process.
