WE PROVIDE SERIVCES TO:  (A&D) AND (TBI), FSW, CIH, Structured Family Care, and Transportation
Aged and Disabled Waiver 

The Aged and Disabled (A&D) waiver allows individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled to remain in their homes as an alternative to nursing facility placement. Home and community-based services (HCBS) are provided through the A&D waiver to supplement informal supports for people who would require care in a nursing facility if HCBS or other supports were not available.

Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver

The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver provides home- and community-based services (HCBS) to individuals who would require institutional care without such services. Through the use of the TBI waiver, the Indiana Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) and the Indiana Division of Aging (DA) seek to increase availability and access to cost-effective TBI services to people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury. Indiana defines a traumatic brain injury as a trauma that has occurred as a closed or open head injury by an external event that results in damage to brain tissue, with or without injury to other body organs.​

Family Supports HCBS Waiver (FSW)

The Family Supports home- and community-based services waiver (FSW) provides limited, non-residential supports to individuals with developmental disabilities who live with their families or in other settings with informal supports.

Individuals must meet HCBS waiver eligibility and Medicaid eligibility guidelines in order to be eligible for a Medicaid HCBS waiver. To be eligible individuals must:

  • Be diagnosed as having an intellectual disability prior to the age of 22

  • Reside in or be transitioning into an HCBS-compliant setting (non-institutionalized)

  • Have income no greater than 300% of the maximum Supplemental Security Income amount (parental income for children under 18 years of age is disregarded)

  • Meet Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities/Development Disabilities (ICF/IID) level of care

Community Integration and Habilitation HCBS Waiver (CIH)

The Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH) waiver provides services that enable individuals to remain in their homes or community-based settings. The CIH waiver also assists individuals who are transitioning from state-operated facilities or other institutions into community settings. Home and community-based services (HCBS) through the CIH waiver allow flexibility in providing the supports necessary to help individuals gain and maintain optimum levels of self-determination and community integration.

Individuals must meet both HCBS waiver eligibility and Medicaid eligibility guidelines to be eligible for a Medicaid HCBS waiver. To be eligible, individuals must:

  • Be diagnosed as having an intellectual disability prior to the age of 22

  • Reside in or be transitioning into an HCBS-compliant setting (non-institutionalized)

  • Have income no greater than 300% of maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) amount (parental income for children under 18 years of age is disregarded)

  • Meet Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities/Development Disabilities (ICF/IID) level of care
