1915(c) HCBS Community Waiver Amendment

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OHS) is seeking to amend the Community Waiver.  The Community Waiver serves individuals with Intellectual Disabilities beginning at age three. The specific changes include the addition of a new residential service, the Extensive Residential Supports service.  This new service is designed to meet the needs of waiver members with significant challenging behavioral issues in a community setting. The incident management process is updated to detail requirements for electronic reporting requirements for 4 tiers of incidents. Other changes include allowing providers to obtain an FBI national background check instead of the OSBI report, updating language to reflect the new DDS software, and adding the agency model for PT, OT, speech and nutrition services.
