Conference

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is holding an upcoming Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Open Door Forum that will focus on Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). The integration of LTSS and associated beneficiary protections into the Medicaid managed care regulatory will be discussed. The “open door forums” are hosted to provide an opportunity for live dialogue and foster strong collaboration between CMS and the stakeholder community at large.

While faced with new challenges, reduced budgets and growing populations requiring more services, states are stronger than ever and the work they do is more effective in reaching individuals and addressing their needs. 

ADvancing States is proud to be sponsoring a National Aging and Disabilities Conference in Des Moines, Iowa, May 23-May 26. This conference will draw speakers from over 30 states. Participants will join us from federal, state government, and local organizations. This is an opportunity to meet service providers, advocacy groups, state staff, managed care organizations, CMS officials, and national association staff to share questions, opportunities, and ideas in thoughtful discussions.

The National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) is hosting the Annual Conference on Independent Living. NCIL’s Annual Conference on Independent Living draws individuals of all ages and disabilities from all 50 states. Last year’s Conference was the biggest ever, with over 1,500 people coming together in Washington, DC to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the ADA, to hear from the leaders of Generation ADA, and to advance justice and equality for people with disabilities.
