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.

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.
The Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Senior and Disability Services recently distributed PM-04-08 to all in-home services providers on Feb. 7, 2012. This memo is available at http://health.mo.gov/seniors/hcbs/ihsmemos.php. The memo announced the schedule of regional provider meetings being held by the Division of Senior and Disability Services.
