CertifyMed today announced that its InterRAI Assessments and HCBS Settings Rule Compliance modules will be generally available beginning July 1, 2026.

Closing the Safety Loop: How CertifyMed's Adverse Incident System Protects Participants and Programs
Adverse incident reporting in HCBS programs serves two critical functions: protecting participant safety and demonstrating regulatory accountability to state oversight agencies and CMS. When incident management is fragmented or manual, both functions fail. CertifyMed provides a complete incident lifecycle system built for HCBS regulatory requirements.
The Case for Integrated Case Management in HCBS Waiver Programs
Effective case management is at the heart of every high-quality HCBS program. But most case management tools were designed for other healthcare contexts — and the workarounds that result impose real costs on care quality, coordinator capacity, and regulatory compliance. CertifyMed's case management module was built specifically for the HCBS waiver environment.
Navigating the HCBS Settings Rule: From Complex Regulation to Operational Clarity
The HCBS Settings Final Rule is one of the most operationally complex requirements in Medicaid long-term services and supports. It governs where and how HCBS services can be delivered, mandates physical and operational changes across thousands of provider sites, and requires ongoing CMS reporting. CertifyMed was purpose-built to absorb this compliance burden.
InterRAI Assessments Made Digital: How CertifyMed Transforms Clinical Evaluation Workflows
InterRAI assessment instruments are the clinical cornerstone of many HCBS waiver programs — yet most organizations still administer them through paper forms, fragmented PDFs, or legacy tools that can't share data with the rest of the care system. CertifyMed's digital InterRAI platform changes that equation entirely.
