The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved the New Options (NOW) and Comprehensive Supports (COMP) Waivers. As part of the transition to these waivers, the Office of Developmental Disabilities has reviewed current Mental Retardation Waiver Program (MRWP) and Community Habilitation and Support Services (CHSS) waiver services and determined corresponding NOW and COMP waiver services. The Office of Developmental Disabilities is working with the Division of MHDDAD’s Provider Network Management Section and the Department of Community Health (DCH) on the enrollment of existing MR/DD waiver providers for NOW and COMP waiver services. DCH is requiring Department of Human Resources, Division of MHDDAD approval documentation for the enrollment of existing MR/DD waiver providers for NOW and COMP waiver services. This required documentation is being generated by the Division based on previous approval by DHR, Division of MHDDAD of a provider for MR/DD waiver services under the MRWP and/or CHSS Waiver Programs.
Providers will be receiving letters from the Division of MHDDAD as enrollment for NOW and COMP waivers services proceeds. Providers may also receive a letter from ACS if a new provider number is generated. The Office of Developmental Disabilities is scheduling provider trainings across the state. A part of this training will describe the crosswalk to NOW and COMP services for existing providers and provide the opportunity for providers to ask questions about the provider enrollment process. Information will be forthcoming about the provider enrollment process for the new services offered in the NOW and COMP Waivers.
Thank you for your cooperation as we move forward with a significant transition in service delivery for the individuals with developmental disabilities in Georgia.
