Description

Join us for an insightful webinar on the recently finalized Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services rule ("Medicaid Access Rule"). Published on April 22, 2024, this rule includes the critical 80/20 provision, which mandates that states ensure at least 80% of all Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) payments are allocated to compensating direct care workers, such as nurses and home health aides. The remaining 20% of payments are expected to cover all other operating expenses.

This webinar will delve into the details of the rule, including its language, the implementation timeline, what costs are considered as wages, the potential for changes to the rule, and other key aspects of what we currently know. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed!
