Medicaid Waiver Programs / Interest Lists

Waivers let states use Medicaid funds for long-term home and community-based services for people with disabilities or special health-care needs and the elderly.  There are seven waiver programs in Texas.  Because some of these programs have lengthy waits, some even 10+ years, you should call immediately to be placed on the "interest list"!  You do not have to qualify to be added to the interest list. Our partners at MHMR have provided a handy call list with numbers and more information on each waiver service.  Download your copy.
