Wait List Priority Categorization

The "Wait list Priority Checklist" is the tool completed at the time an eligible individual applies for waiver-funded services and consists of an indication of the category that the individual will be placed on the wait list. This checklist identifies services needed and current services received and requests information about the individual's current and short-term life situation, condition and circumstances. The checklist is reviewed on an annual basis and is updated when the Agency is notified that the individual's needs and circumstances have changed
Wait List Prioritization Checklist

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

Answer: There are currently over 22,000 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.

APD Needs Assessments

The Agency For Persons With Disabilities (A.P.D.) completes QSI (Questionnaire for Situational Information) for all individuals on waiver programs every three 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 current 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.

    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".

    What Is The Medicaid Waiver?
    • Waivers cover things that medicaid typically does not cover.
    • Florida has several medicaid waiver programs, each assists a specific group of people. Florida's waivers include: iBudget Florida; Aged and Disabled Adult Waiver (ADA); Assisted Living Waiver (ALW); Channeling Waiver; Consumer-Directed Care Plus Program (CDC+); Long-Term Care Community Diversion Pilot Project; and Program of All-Inclusive Care (PACE)
    • There are over 20,000 persons with disabilities on Florida's Medicaid Waiver waiting list.
    • In July 2013 about 750 people were added to the medicaid waiver program. This was the first time in many years that a significant number of people were added to the waiver. People waiting the longest did not get the waiver, instead people with the most need got on the waiver.
    • About 30,000 persons with disabilities currently receive services from APD.
    • If you have the medicaid waiver in another state, it does not transfer to Florida. You will be put on the waiting list
    • Persons with the most need are placed on the waiver first. You can expect an 8-10 year wait to get the Medicaid Waiver in Florida.
    • Most States have Medicaid Waiver programs. To learn about Waivers in other states, visit MedicaidWaiver.org
