Improving and Expanding Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) for Persons with Functional Limitations

Beneficiaries have a better experience in MLTSS plans with a greater opportunity to remain independent through increased access to home and community-based services (HCBS), resulting in improved health and quality of life outcomes.
