HHS has approved payment rates for the Individualized Skills and Socialization in the Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities waiver, Home and Community-based Services waiver, and Texas Home Living waiver programs, effective Jan. 1, 2023.

To ensure enough time to answer questions from participants and provide a walk-through of TULIP (the long-term care licensing application system) and describe the new licensing process, we are extending this webinar to two hours.

FEI Systems will continue to host monthly provider demonstration webinars at 10 a.m. through December 2023.
