Medicaid

The Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent (DAIL) is updating the 2009 Choices for Care regulations. The goal is to modernize the rules within the Medicaid Health Care Administrative Rules (HCAR) in a cleaner format. DAIL is also proposing to update the Moderate Needs Program waitlist policy from chronological to a priority system (similar to the current High Needs wait list process), as long as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) says it is okay to do so without an amendment to Vermont's Global Commitment waiver.
