Self-Assessment
Providers of some regional center services are required to complete an online self-assessment (provided below) to measure their current level of compliance with the HCBS Final Rules, offering a framework for assisting providers with the necessary steps to align their services with the federal requirements. If a provider is not in compliance with all the requirements, there is time to develop a transition plan so the provider can achieve compliance by March 2023, the date by which states have to implement the federal requirements.
Virtual Site Assessment
The Department announced the virtual site assessment process in a letter to regional centers on March 23, 2021. Below is additional information and training.
The Department held training on the virtual site assessment process. A recording of this training can be found here.
Compliance Reporting
In accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code section 4519.2(b), each regional center and the Department must post HCBS Final Rule compliance information on its website, and shall update the information no less frequently than every six months. The information in the HCBS Final Rule Compliance Report, showing ELARC’s breakdowns, is collected from the provider self-assessment as well as the virtual site assessments. Statewide data can be found on the DDS website.
