Medicaid Waiver Program

A Medicaid Waiver Program allows states to tailor Medicaid services beyond standard rules, providing specialized care for individuals with disabilities or complex health needs. These programs enable expanded access to services like home-based care, community support, or personalized assistance that might not typically be covered, helping people live independently or with more comprehensive support. Waivers are approved by federal authorities and are designed to meet specific state and individual requirements, offering flexibility to deliver more effective, person-centered care beyond traditional Medicaid offerings.
