Public Notice:  Level One Waiver Renewal

Post Date 01/11/2021
End Date 02/10/2021
Purpose The Level One renewal reflects clarifications and oversight revisions by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) and the Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). The majority of these renewal changes are focused on strengthening ODM’s health and welfare oversight over all 1915(c) Home and Community-Based (HCBS) waiver programs. The Level One waiver remains a significantly positive program in Ohio for those individuals with a developmental disability, especially those whose support needs are primarily met by family or informal support systems.
