• Listening Log for HCPF responses to feedback received

Please view the most updated copy of the Community First Choice Draft Rules listed above. This copy is formatted according to required standards set forth by the Secretary of State's office. 

This version includes:

• Recent technical edits suggested by HCPF staff and the Attorney General's office. These technical changes include citation and reference updates, minor grammar or wording changes, and a few section additions that require mention of and/or citation to Community First Choice. 
• All previous edits recommended by stakeholders and agreed on by HCPF. 
• All changes discussed and vetted through the CFC Council. No policy or operational changes have been made without stakeholder engagement. 
• All stakeholder comments and HCPF responses are located in our updated Listening Log.

While reviewing the Medical Services Board (MSB) Draft CFC Rule Revisions, you may see abridged sections or shortened lists of definitions in a few sections compared to copies we have previously posted. For example, in Section 8.7200 Case Management Agency Requirements, you will not see all the current rule definitions listed in that section. The sections omitted are not changing. Due to the length of that section and lack of changes, it is not included in the rule draft to be presented to MSB. This is a standard process when making rule changes and ushering those changes through our formal clearance process, as it assists reviewers with a more expedited review. If you would like to view current rule sections that are not being modified during this rulemaking process, please view current rule drafts on the Secretary of State's website.
