HCBS Waiver Enrollment HCBS Waiver Enrollment What are the changes to HCBS Waiver Enrollment? Enter all applications directly into COMPASS, Electronic processing of 1768s and Notices of Determination to eliminate delays in document processing. Added a Special Needs Unit to assist with expediting cases related to APS/PS, coordinate the enrollment from EPSDT to LTSS services, from inpatient or other facilities to HCBS, and/or an immediate need for services to prevent hospitalization or nursing facility placement. For transitions from nursing facilities, contact participant or NHT coordinator at least every 30 days to confirm status. Additionally, Maximus implemented a new software system at the end of May which allows for the automation of many of the processes that Maximus was completing manually.

MMDI Project Overview To assist OLTL, CMS offered OLTL technical assistance support from a CMS contractor, FEi Systems. Using both on-site staff and staff based at their Maryland office, FEi has been performing several tasks: Developing and documenting a Final Action process for Part D, Pharmaceutical Medicare claims (complete). Developing and documenting a Final Action process for Medicare Parts A and B FFS claims (In Process) Developing and documenting a Client Cross Reference Table that will enable efficient and comprehensive merging of data from Medicare, Medicaid and other sources, such as the Minimum Data Set (MDS) (In Process). Assistance with the development of the infrastructure to receive and store the Enhanced COBA FFS Claims data Developing a Use Case demonstrating the power of bringing Medicare and Medicaid data to better understand a selected population; in this case the Pennsylvania dual eligible residents who would have been eligible for CHC as of December 2014 (Target 9/5/2017). All of the programs, including the analytic programs for the Use Case, will become the property of OLTL. 2/23/2025 10
