On May 17, NAMD and associations representing home- and community-based services waiver operating agencies sent a letter to CMS requesting an extension of at least 30 calendar days of the comment periods for CMS’ proposed rules on managed care and access.

As Medicaid and HCBS leaders embark on an intensive period of work conducting long-paused Medicaid renewals, winding down the COVID-19 public health emergency and its attached flexibilities, and continued management of HCBS investments from the American Rescue Plan, agency bandwidth to thoughtfully respond to regulatory actions of this magnitude by the current July 3 closure of the comment period is extremely limited. A longer comment period will allow state and territory leaders to more fully assess these rules and provide constructive comment for CMS’s consideration.
