NHTD/TBI Waiver Update

The Department of Health (DOH) has received approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to extend the compliance date for conflict of interest implementation for the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waivers from Nov. 11, 2023 to March 1, 2024. Service plans with an effective date prior to March 1, 2024 that providers have held because of conflict of interest non-compliance can now be approved.

In addition, NHTD and TBI Waiver rates have been rebased and, upon approval by CMS, will be effective March 1, 2024, providing significant increases. Members can find rates here and here.
