PUBLIC NOTICE
The Alabama Medicaid Agency is seeking public comments on
the proposed renewal application for the Technology Assisted (TA) Waiver. The TA Waiver provides individuals with specific diagnoses
and related illnesses home and community-based services in the community who
would otherwise require nursing facility care. The Alabama Medicaid Agency (Alabama
Medicaid) is the Administering Agency and serves as the Operating Agency for
the TA Waiver.
The target population for the waiver is specific to
individuals who are 21 years of age or older with complex skilled medical
conditions. These individuals have a medical history of being
ventilator-dependent or have a tracheostomy.
The renewal application proposes to make the following
changes:
- Services
and supports that were previously available through Assistive Technology
will continue to be available through the Specialized Medical Equipment
service, and;
- Individual
Goods and Services has been removed as a separate waiver service;
participants will continue to access approved goods and services through
the Personal Choices budget process
A copy of the proposed action can be accessed at www.medicaid.alabama.gov. Hard
copies of the application are posted for review inside Alabama Medicaid
District Offices.
Written comments on the proposed action must be submitted to
the agency by July 6, 2026. Via mail to:
