disabilities. These services can take place in the person’s
home or in the community.
Medicaid usually pays for doctor appointments, hospital expenses,
medicine, therapy, and some adaptive equipment. The Medicaid Waiver
allows for Medicaid to be used to pay for additional services. The state writes a plan that tells what kind of services will be provided under their Medicaid Waiver program. The federal government has to approve the Medicaid Waiver plan. The Medicaid Waiver dollars are part state and part federal money and not every state provides a waiver. You'll have to check with your state's Medicaid office to see what is available in your community.
Take care,

I'd like to add that in some states Medicaid waivers are available that will pay for AL through a community based waiver program. This totally makes sense for the elderly poor that meet the Medicaid financial qualifications BUT are just not quite incapacitated to meet the Medicaid medically necessary qualifications. Plus it's good for the state as it is 70% cheaper to have someone in AL rather than at a NH.
The bad part is very few states participate in those type of waivers.
As Carol said, all this is dependent under whatever your state does with their Medicaid $$ as each state puts it's own spin on those federal dollars.
