It will provide information on the implementation of OPI-M since the waiver was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on Feb. 13, 2024.

It is in effect from Feb. 13, 2024, to Jan. 31, 2029.
The forum will be held as a video conference using Zoom and by phone on Aug. 5, 2024, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Real-Time Captioning (CART) will also be provided. If you require other accommodations, please contact Max Brown by
