Dear OPRA Members,

This is a reminder that the new OPSR/DODD compliance review tool includes items around compliance with the HCBS Settings Rule (see attachment, shaded wording is new).

 

Beginning October 1, 2017, DODD/OPSR plans to begin issuing citations to providers who are not in compliance with the HCBS Settings Rule.  To read the original communication from DODD concerning the changes to the compliance review tool, click this link: http://dodd.ohio.gov/Communications/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=669

 

For more information on complying with the HCBS Settings rule, go to https://www.opra.org/public-policy/priority-issues/hcbs-settingcommunity-inclusion-rule/

 

Please let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Lisa
