What is HCBS Lead Agency Review
The purpose of the HCBS Lead Agency Review website is to share information about the lead agency review process, including case file review and site visit protocols as well as our findings with lead agencies.
The Lead Agency Review (LAR) Team completed Round 4 of site visits with 90 lead agencies (87 counties and three tribes) administering Home and Community Based Services programs in August 2023, which included the review of over 6,800 case files and discussions with over 2,300 lead agency staff.
The LAR team has prepared a Round 4 summary report and refined protocols and procedures for Round 5 of lead agency reviews. LAR site visits for Round 5 begin in Spring 2024 and are scheduled to run through the end of 2027. Information for Round 5 is available under the "Processes and protocols" tab above.
