Mathematica brings substantive knowledge of Medicaid LTSS and HCBS, deep analytic capabilities, and expertise in public reporting and measure development and maintenance to help CMS meet their goals for LTSS and HCBS system improvement.
Under this project, we (1) produce annual output on Medicaid LTSS expenditures and users and assess the proportion of Medicaid LTSS expenditures and users allocated to HCBS to understand state progress toward shifting to more HCBS delivery; (2) engage with CMS and states to develop public reporting mechanisms for transparent HCBS quality reporting; (3) provide technical assistance to support states in implementing new HCBS Quality Measure Set reporting requirements; and (4) maintain existing HCBS quality measures and develop new HCBS quality measures for children with HCBS needs.
