The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS) is pleased to announce the approved renewal of the Community Integration Habilitation Waiver (CIH). An exciting change within the renewal is the integration of a daily rate for Residential Habilitation and Support Services (RHS). This rate change will allow RHS providers to receive a daily rate for services provided, as opposed to the current methodology of billing on an hourly basis. This change allows BDDS to continue to foster the independence of individuals with disabilities in the state of Indiana by continuously improving the services we offer while increasing access to the broader community.
