Rule Details
| Rule Number: | 24P049 |
| Title: | Critical Incident Management System - Home and Community-Based Services. |
| Type: | Standard |
| Status: | Adopted |
| Agency: | Agency of Human Services |
| Legal Authority: | 3 V.S.A. § 801(b)(11); 33 V.S.A. § 1901(a)(1) |
| Summary: | The proposed rulemaking outlines Vermont Medicaid's obligations according to federal law in establishing, managing, and upholding an incident management system designed to safeguard the well-being of individuals enrolled in home and community-based services sanctioned under the Global Commitment to Health Waiver. The proposed rulemaking aligns with the federal law stipulating the essential components of such a system, which includes the identification, reporting, prioritization, investigation, resolution, tracking, and analysis of critical incidents. |
| Persons Affected: | HCBS Medicaid Beneficiaries, Agency of Human Services and its Departments and Community-Based organizations. |
| Economic Impact: | There is a one-time investment of $500,000 to enhance the State's critical incident reporting management system. This rule does not increase or reduce the economic burden on any individual or entity, nor does it impact the State's gross annualized budget. The investment ensures compliance with the new rule and recent changes to federal laws. |
