Federally approved BI, CAC, CADI, DD and EW waiver plans, Alternative Care (AC) program (Minn. Stat. §256B.0913)

Effective Feb. 1, 2025, DHS will start the rolling implementation of the CDCS unbundling project. The current CDCS policy and CDCS unbundling project policy will be in effect at the same time. For more information, refer to the Dec. 10, 2024, eList announcement.

This page does not include policy for unbundled service categories.

Under CDCS, a person can choose traditional goods and services available through the Alternative Care (AC) program and home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers, and design services to meet his/her specific needs. The goods and services approved in the person’s CDCS Community Support Plan (CSP) must be categorized into one of four service categories:

Categorizing the goods and services a person uses allows the financial management services (FMS) provider to separate and appropriately bill for the approved goods and services.

The lead agency only uses service categories in the person’s CDCS CSP; it does not authorize service categories on service agreements.
