A-3300, Home and Community-Based Services Waiver Programs

Revision 16-1; Effective March 1, 2016

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs may have limited enrollment and are an alternative to institutionalization. A person can enroll in only one HCBS waiver at a time, but may be on the interest list for multiple HCBS waivers. Persons applying for certain HCBS waiver programs who are not already Medicaid eligible under another coverage group covered by the waiver and who meet the waiver eligibility criteria may be Medicaid eligible using the special income limit.

For additional information about HCBS waiver programs, including interest lists, see Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) – Long-term Care .

Descriptions for some of the Home and Community-Based Services waiver programs follow in this section.
