These revisions align policy with the 1915(c) HCBS waivers, which were previously approved by CMS on June 28, 2024, and made effective July 1, 2024. The proposed revisions will add language that allows the diagnosis of Global Developmental Delay as an acceptable diagnosis for admission to a DDS HCBS waiver for individuals under 6 years of age and clarify that a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID) is based on Social Security Administration criteria for ID. Other revisions remove the requirement for authorization of community transition services to be issued for the date a member transitions. Additionally, revisions will add a new residential service to be provided to members in custody of OKDHS and adult members with extensive behavioral support needs that cannot be safely met with current available support. Finally, revisions will permit legally responsible individuals to serve as a Habilitation Training Specialist to individuals for whom they are legally responsible.
