Re: State Medicaid Information

[Guest guest]

This site is a very good one. HCFA is the department of medicaid that

handles waivers. For any of you who may be

trying to get waiver funding in your individual states this site could be of

some service to you. You can access the

Federal rules and regulations surrounding the waivers through this site. How

money funding works for waiver is the

Federal government will fund 60% to states and in most states they put up 40%

with county agencies coming up with 10%.

When states accept waiver funding from the federal government they agree to

follow the federal rules and regulations

surrounding the waiver. Knowing these rules and reg. can be of help to you when

you are being denied certain services

when you have waiver and also in some cases where you have been told you don't

qualify for waiver. I have tried this

avenue countless times in getting funding for 's deaf home (which is being

developed through waiver funding). It

has worked for me in proving that the county MHMR agency was not following

federal rules and regs in denying me certain

funding. Again there is a wealth of information to be found at this site.
