Last week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – through the U.S Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – announced that states would have an additional year to use funding from the American Rescue Plan to both enhance and expand home- and community-based services (HCBS).
The news is major for home-based care providers, as the federal government is committing to further and prolonged support for HCBS in general.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to expanding access to home- and community-based care for people with disabilities and older adults,” CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-Lasure said in a statement. “Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, these additional funds will help people with Medicaid to live and thrive in the setting of their choice.
