The Alabama Medicaid Agency
(Medicaid) is seeking public comments on the proposed amendments to the Alabama
Home and Community Based Services (HCBS), Intellectual Disabilities (ID) Waiver
and the Living at Home (LAH) Waiver for persons with Intellectual Disabilities.
These Waivers provide HCBS to individuals who, but for the provision of such
services, would require Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual
Disabilities (ICF/IID) level of care as defined in 42 CFR §440.150.
Medicaid is the Administering Agency, and the Alabama Department of Mental
Health Division of Developmental Disabilities (ADMH/DDD) is the Operating
Agency.
An electronic version of the LAH Waiver proposal draft is located at https://medicaid.alabama.gov/content/6.0_LTC_Waivers/6.1_HCBS_Waivers/6.1.4_Live_at_Home_Waiver.aspx
An electronic version of the ID Waiver proposal draft is located https://medicaid.alabama.gov/content/6.0_LTC_Waivers/6.1_HCBS_Waivers/6.1.5_ID_Waiver.aspx
A hard copy of the proposed changes will be made available upon request
for public review at each county office of the Department of Human Resources,
Medicaid District Offices and the State Office of the Alabama Medicaid
Agency.
Written comments concerning these changes are welcomed and should
be emailed to publiccomment@medicaid.alabama.gov.
