Waiver Assessments

Iowa HHS is improving the assessment process to make it more consistent, simple, and person-centered. Starting in 2025 there have been two significant changes. 

  1. Telligen will complete all HCBS assessments, and managed care organizations will no longer be responsible for completing the HCBS assessments.   
  2. People enrolled in the ID waiver began receiving InterRAI assessments since their old assessment tool was discontinued.
