Medicaid Waiver Programs

Medicaid Waiver Programs allow states to tailor Medicaid services to specific populations or needs that aren’t fully covered by standard Medicaid rules. They grant flexibility to expand or modify services like home care, community-based supports, or treatment for people with disabilities. These waivers help individuals access personalized care while still being funded through federal and state Medicaid programs. Each waiver is approved by the federal government and operates under specific rules, aiming to improve quality of life and reduce reliance on institutional care by providing more customized, accessible options in the community.
