Quarterly Update: Supporting Adults with Developmental Disabilities and Brain Injury in their Homes and Communities

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides home and community-based services to adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD, ORC), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and brain injury primarily through MaineCare-funded programs. These are often called waiver programs because they operate with special exceptions from the federal government and are referred to by their Section number, which is where they can be found in the MaineCare rules.

Attention Home- and Community-Based (HCBS) Providers, Including Case Managers Care Coordinators

Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Department has determined it is best to place our HCBS validation strategies on a sixty-day pause from April 13, 2020 to June 12, 2020. This decision has been made to ensure the health and safety of the members we serve, the provider base, validators, and to ensure the integrity of the HCBS validation process.
