a

For these service categories, we implemented additional inclusion criteria to categorize a claim as HCBS when paid by a program that offers HCBS, such as a 1915(k) program. The MAX HCBS taxonomy was created for 1915(c) services only, and only included FFS claims.11 The TAF RIFHCBS taxonomy expands on the MAX HCBS taxonomy in 3 ways by including claims from: (1) other HCBS programs; (2) state plan HCBS; and (3) managed care plans that provide HCBS. Therefore, additional inclusion criteria were required for certain categories of services.
