    Update! APD Needs Assessments

    The Agency For Persons With Disabilities (A.P.D.) plans to complete a QSI (Questionnaire for Situational Information) for all individuals on waiver programs over the next two years. The QSI Assessments were mandated by the Florida Legislature and is one of the responsibilities of receiving waiver funded services. The QSI is the new needs assessment tool being used by A.P.D. Prior to the QSI, Similar needs assessments have been done by A.P.D. The FSTS and ICG were used in the past. The new QSI assessments will be done by A.P.D. employees, rather than support coordinators.

    See The New QSI Assessment Tool (PDF)

    It's easy to search for medicaid waiver providers. To make it easier to find providers in your area, there are symbols next to each provider's name, showing the districts they serve. You will learn a lot about providers by looking at their descriptions and visiting their websites.

    Question: How Do I Get On The Medicaid Waiver?

    Answer: You need to fill out the application for services. Florida's HCBS and FSL waiver programs are for people who have certain disabilities. These disabilities include: Mental Retardation, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Prader-Willi, and Autism. For More Information, you can call A.P.D.'s Toll Free Number 1-866-APD-CARES or 1-866-273-2273

    Question: Can I choose anyone I want to be my provider?

    Answer: To a large degree, you have choice of providers. However, the provider must serve the waiver you are on. The provider must also be certified to work in your area and for the services you choose. You can not choose a provider that is your legal guardian or parent.

    Question: Can I get everything the waiver offers?

    Answer: No, you need to work with you support coordinator and determine what services and products are "medically necessary".

    Question: I have been on the wait list for several years. How can I get on the waiver faster.

    Answer: There are currently over 15,000 people waiting for waiver services in Florida. The only way to get on the waiver faster is by being in crisis. Examples of crisis include: homeless, no suitable caregiver, and extreme behaviors. Being in crisis does not guarantee waiver placement.

    What Are The FSL And HCBS Waivers?

    The waivers cover things that medicaid typically does not cover.

    The HCBS/DD Waiver
    • Also know as the "Big Waiver"
    • Also know as the Home and Community Based, Developmental Disabilities Waiver
    • This Waiver currently does not have a spending cap. There are 28 services, learn about them all.
    The FSL Waiver
    • Also know as the "Little Waiver"
    • Also know as the Florida Supported Living Waiver
    • This Waiver currently has a spending cap of $14,792.00.
    • There are 11 services, learn about them all.

    Be sure to check back often; new waiver providers are added every week. There will soon be providers for every service in every district. Our waiver provider directory was created in May of 2007. We understand that this is a new concept for everyone, as waiver providers have never before had a way to advertise.

    There are also many resources for customers, families, waiver providers, and support coordinators at WaiverProvider.Com. Take a few minutes to click on the different links. Come back often, we update our site every week. We are always adding new resources and current information. Remember that while we are working to get providers listed- letting them know about our services and building them websites- we do offer a free service to support coordinators. We will call providers for you. However, due to HIPPA rules, we can only call for support coordinators.

    Waiver Providers, you can add your listing even if you don't have a website. We provide a free one page "web flyer" and free hosting, with your membership.

    Question: How Do I Become A Provider?

    Answer: In most cases, we would recommend that you start by working as a provider for another company for at least 6 months. This is because the paperwork requirements are vast, confusing, and necessary to get paid. If you decide that you want to be an independent provider, you will use the APD website as your starting point, and go to the "Providers" page. On the "Providers" page, look for the medicaid application. You will be signing up to be a medicaid provider. The application can be found under the heading of APD HCBS Medicaid Waiver Provider Application. The application can also be found on the "Florida Medicaid Fiscal Website" On the Medicaid Fiscal Website, you will find a link at the very bottom of the left sidebar titled
    "Online Provider Enrollment". You will also need to contact the Agency For Persons With Disabilities and take their required trainings prior to becoming a provider. For more help with the application, the Agency For Persons With Disabilities in your area can help. To find
    APD in your area, follow the link to
    Statewide Map of Area Offices. The person most likely to help you at APD would have a job title such as "Provider Enrollment".
