The Missouri Medicaid Audit and Compliance (MMAC) will not be scheduling provider update meetings for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) providers for the remainder of this calendar year. HCBS providers include: In-Home Service (IHS) providers, Consumer Directed Services (CDS) vendors, Residential Care Facility (RCF)/Assisted Living Facility (ALF) Personal Care (PC) providers and Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) providers.
In accordance with the 19 CSR 15-7.021(14)(D), In-Home Service Standards, each IHS provider is to “ensure the designated managers annually attend division-sponsored training designed to update certified managers.” Certified managers will not be penalized for not completing the annual training requirements for calendar year 2012. A copy of this letter should be maintained as proof that the training requirement was waived for 2012.
