• PRTF Waiver, • SDMI Waiver, and • DD Waivers. An SLTC/DD-55 completed by AMDD meets the required screening criteria for the above- listed programs. NOTE: A new Mountain Pacific-Quality Health Foundation (MPQHF) screening (SLTC-61) is required when a client moves from a DD or AMDD waiver slot to a nursing home. MPQHF completes required screenings (SLTC-61) for: • Physically Disabled Waiver • Aged Waiver, and • Nursing home services. NOTE: SLTC-61 screenings are valid for 90 days for both waiver and nursing home services. When a waiver client with a valid SLTC-61 screening enters a nursing home directly from the waiver program, a new SLTC-61 screening is not required; the existing SLTC-61 is used. Likewise, a nursing home client with a valid SLTC-61 screening may leave the nursing home and directly enter the waiver program without needing a new SLTC-61. The pre-admission screening must be completed within 90 days of enrollment into a Medicaid HCBS/Waiver program or entry into a nursing home. AGED WAIVER: HCBS/Waiver services are available to eligible physically disabled aged individuals under the Aged Waiver. Senior and Long-Term Care (SLTC), Community Services Bureau (CSB) administers the Aged Waiver. PHYSICALLY DISABLED WAIVER: Individuals under age 65 who have been determined disabled according to Social Security criteria may be eligible for HCBS/Waiver services under the Physically Disabled Waiver. The Physically Disabled Waiver is administered by the Senior and Long-Term Care Division, Community Services Bureau. If the individual is eligible for an ACA program, we will not require a disability determination. DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (DD) WAIVER: Specialized services are provided to waiver-eligible clients under HCBS Developmental Disabilities (DD) waivers. There are several DD waivers. Eligible DD individuals may receive HCBS services under the Waiver 208; Comprehensive Services waiver.
