DHCS has worked with partner agencies, including the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), the California Department of Aging (CDA), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), California Department of Social Services (CDSS), Stakeholders, and other entities to develop the revised STP and attachments. DHCS is committed to working with partner agencies and stakeholders throughout the transition period.
Below, is DHCS revised
Statewide Transition Plan (STP), describing California’s current efforts and
actions the state proposes to ensure Home and Community-Based Service (HCB)
providers achieve compliance with the federal HCB settings rule. CMS granted
initial approval of California’s STP on February 23, 2018. DHCS is required to seek
advice from designees of Indian Health Programs and Urban Indian Organizations
on Medi-Cal matters having a direct effect on Indians, Indian Health Programs
or Urban Indian Organizations per the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (ARRA). The STP was submitted for tribal review on May 20, 2021. The public comment period will open June 19, 2021 through July 19, 2021. As the
state continues to work toward public comment and final approval of the STP,
DHCS will update the STP website with information regarding the STP,
instructions for public comment, and transition activities throughout the
approval process and transition period. DHCS encourages stakeholders to
continue to visit the website for additional information and to email
STP@dhcs.ca.gov with any questions, or to
request a hard copy of the STP. For more information on the CBAS STP, please
