Overview


From federal Medicaid shifts to local waiver changes, the IDD landscape moves fast. Staying on top of it all can feel overwhelming, especially when news is scattered across multiple websites and policy bulletins.


That’s why we created Giv News. It’s a centralized, curated page built specifically for IDD and HCBS providers. It’s updated weekly with plain-language summaries of the most important updates in the field.

Why we built it


Providers are spending so much time searching for updates, or worse, finding out about critical changes after the fact. EVV enforcement, redetermination confusion, billing shifts, and audit trends should not catch anyone off guard.


We launched Giv News to help agencies stay one step ahead of compliance deadlines, funding changes, and care delivery expectations.

What you'll find


Giv News covers the topics that directly affect your operations, staff, and funding, including Medicaid redetermination, state waiver developments, EVV timelines and enforcement, value-based payment pilots, DSP workforce policy, behavioral health integration, and state-specific compliance changes. Every post is short, digestible, and written for busy teams.

Who it’s for


Giv News is built for anyone supporting or leading IDD services. That includes agency owners, directors, supervisors, compliance teams, and program managers. If your role involves care, billing, training, or operations, this resource is for you.


Even if you are not using the Giv platform, you can use Giv News to stay informed and ready.

Why staying current matters


Missing a waiver change or billing update is not just an inconvenience. It can delay payments, increase audit risk, or disrupt care. Agencies that stay informed are more confident, more compliant, and better prepared for what’s ahead.


When your team knows what’s happening, they can plan instead of scramble.

Staying informed doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Giv News filters out the noise and delivers the updates IDD providers actually need, from national Medicaid policy shifts to state-specific waiver changes and compliance trends.


It’s one less thing for your team to track and one more way to stay prepared. Whether you’re managing billing, supervision, or service delivery, timely updates help keep your agency ready for what’s next.

Stay ahead with Giv


Giv offers more than a set of tools, it’s a practical way to stay organized, compliant, and focused on what matters. With real-time documentation, built-in billing, and Giv News for policy updates, your team is always one step ahead.
