The South Dakota Legislature had authorized a 2025 Interim summer study to proceed regarding Community Support Provider funding. The focus of this study will be to examine the following, “South Dakota operates two Medicaid waiver programs—CHOICES and Family Support 360. Each provides home and community-based services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities through community support providers. This study committee will explore and identify potential ways to streamline services across the two waiver programs to improve efficiency and better match the ongoing reduced funding of the reimbursement methodologies”. The legislative committee is in the process of being determined as well as the final scope of the study. The committee will meet three times during the interim. More information will be published as this story evolves.
