Public Comment for Indiana’s Statewide Transition Plan

In October 2018, the Indiana Family and Social Service Administration intends to submit a proposed revision of the Statewide Transition Plan for the Home and Community Based-Services Settings Final Rule to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. FSSA is seeking public comment on version eight of the STP. This revision includes updated timelines and additional detail on the heightened scrutiny process.

The public comment period will run from August 22, 2018, to September 21, 2018. All comments must be received during the comment period.

In response to the previous public comment, version eight is provided with redline corrections to assist in stakeholder review.  An electronic copy can be viewed by clicking here.  Copies of the updated Statewide Transition Plan will also be made available at your local Division of Family Resources and at the address listed below.

Written comments may be sent via email to HCBSrulecomments@fssa.in.gov or by mail to:

All comments will be tracked and summarized. The summary of comments as well as a summary of changes made in response to public comments will be added to the revised STP.
