Public Comment Guide: Proposed Rule on Access to Home- and Community-Based Services

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has requested public input on a new rule they have proposed that would widely benefit people receiving Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). Your voice is vital to this process, because changes to CMS rules don’t occur often. Thus, it is very important that CMS receive as much public feedback as possible on the proposal to ensure that the final rule is the best and most comprehensive version possible.
