The Centers for Medicaid & CHIP Services (CMCS) Informational Bulletin follows up on a joint report issued in January 2018 by the Office of Inspector General, the Office of Civil Rights, and the Administration for Community Living, focusing on individuals with developmental disabilities living in group homes.
