Texas Medicaid Waiver Programs
Long Term Care & Supports for Individuals Who Have a Disability - What are Medicaid Waiver Programs and who is eligible?
In general Medicaid Wavier Programs fund services that help people (of all ages) who have a disability, blindness, or who are aging, live in the community instead of an institutional setting. Within each program you will find different eligibility requirements, rules, service options, and funding amounts. When you call to access services in Texas you will learn of an "interest list," known by families and individuals who have a disability as actually being a "waiting list."
