Waiver Programs

Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waiver Programs provide funding for supports and services to help you to live in your home and community. Waivers offer an array of services and benefits such as choice of qualified providers, due process, and health and safety assurances.

The name waiver comes from the fact that the federal government “waives” Medical Assistance (Medicaid) rules for institutional care in order for Pennsylvania to use the same funds to provide supports and services for people closer to home in their own communities. Each waiver has its own unique set of eligibility requirements and services. We specialize in Long Term Support Services (LTSS) and Home Care Based Services (HCBS).

Community Health Choices (CHC) Waiver provides Physical and Behavioral Health services to Medical Assistance (MA)  recipients including individuals over 21 that are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid or receive  long–term support through Medicaid. 

Act 150 Waiver Enables adults 18 through 59 years of age who are mentally alert and have physical disabilities to perform  activities of daily living (such as eating, personal hygiene, and transporting themselves).  Using state funding, in addition to the participant’s own resources, the Act 150 Program assists eligible  individuals in obtaining assistance from personal assistance services (PAS) workers in completing tasks in  order to lead more independent lifestyles.
