ID/DD Pilot Project. During demonstration year 1, the state will operate a pilot project for individuals in the section 1915(c) ID/DD waiver (KS-0224). This pilot project is completely voluntary for beneficiaries and their providers. Both the beneficiary and at least one of the beneficiary’s providers must elect to participate in this pilot project in order for participation to occur. In accordance with STC 21(b), HCBS services for individuals participating in this pilot project are paid on a FFS basis, and are carved out of managed care. This pilot project will help providers and beneficiaries become more familiar with the MCOs, and will help the MCOs to become more familiar with the needs of individuals served through the ID/DD waiver. This will occur through enhanced communication and care coordination between the beneficiary, the ID/DD providers, and the MCOs. Participating beneficiaries will also receive some value added services from the MCOs that do not meet the waiver definition of HCBS services (see Attachment L). Attachment L provides a more detailed overview of this pilot project. Changes to Attachment L must be submitted to CMS for review and approval prior to implementation, but are not subject to the amendment process outlined in STC 7. The state will report on the ID/DD Pilot Project during the monitoring calls in STC 78, and in the quarterly and annual reports in STCs 79 and 80.
