Webinar 9/3:
Strategies to Meaningfully Engage Medicaid HCBS Beneficiaries
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) host a monthly webinar
series that invites subject matter experts to share
insights, lessons learned, and best practices to develop high quality
home-and community-based services (HCBS) and programs.
State Medicaid agencies and other HCBS
stakeholders often struggle to substantively engage HCBS
beneficiaries and to translate their voices into
HCBS programs and
services. This month’s webinar invites HCBS stakeholders to consider:
- Engaging HCBS
beneficiaries beyond regulatory compliance;
- Differences between
public comments and broader engagement;
- Building engagement
networks to work with HCBS beneficiaries regularly in
partnership with academic and non-profit entities; and
- Educating HCBS
beneficiaries about their rights
and supporting self-advocacy trainings so beneficiaries can
substantively engage in the process.
