- 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.
