Updates: LTSSMaryland

The Maryland Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSSMaryland) is an information technology (IT) platform designed to support the implementation of the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA)’s approved Medicaid home- and community-based waiver services.

In December 2019, the DDA launched a pilot to identify and address any system challenges to support a seamless transition to LTSSMaryland and Electronic Visit Verification for Personal Supports services. The DDA is thankful to providers in the pilot for sharing their experiences with the new system and the internal adjustments they have made to align with the new system.

For more information about the pilot: LTSSMaryland Pilot Update.

LTSSMaryland Registration and Training

LTSSMaryland training sessions are currently available to help providers and their staff successfully navigate the system. Register for an LTSSMaryland training session.
