As part of the proposed HCBS waiver application, DOH and OPWDD will amend the HCBS waiver to include changes in cost setting that reduce or eliminate the occupancy adjustment for prudentially monitored residential services and implement other refund restrictions when a member of OPWDD is not in residence.
