Final Information Bulletin Posted:
In collaboration with our stakeholders, the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) has posted the above Final Information Bulletin (IB). Synopsis below.
Pursuant to Public Act 103-0593, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and was approved to add a new service through the Adults with Developmental Disabilities Waiver for individuals receiving residential services through 24 hour and Host Family Center for Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA), Specialized Telehealth and Assessment Team (STAT). The STAT service provides a remote telehealth assessment when the individual's primary care physician is unavailable, designed to coordinate individual's care with local emergency departments, urgent care facilities, primary care physicians, and other healthcare providers to enable real time medical support, consultation, and coordination on physical health issues.

Request for Applications for Stabilization Homes
DDD is very excited to announce that our Request for Applications (RFA) for providers to provide Stabilization Services will be posted within the next week. As a reminder, there was legislation passed that increased the current capacity of stabilization homes. There are currently 8 short-term stabilization homes. The legislation will add an additional 8 long-term homes and 2 short-term homes. DDD encourages all current CILA providers with expertise in behavioral health supports to consider applying. The deadline for applications will be July 10. There will be a webinar to provide the opportunity to ask the DDD and the Procurement Office questions about the RFA on May 22 at 2pm. The link for this webinar will be sent after the RFA is posted.
