From the Family and Social Services Administration:
"The Bureau of Disabilities Services and Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning issued a public notice on the intent to submit proposed amendments to the Family Support, Community Integration and Habilitation, Health and Wellness, Indiana PathWays, and Traumatic Brain Injury Waivers to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for consideration."
The amendments being proposed impact how individuals access services provided by the above mentioned Medicaid Waivers. Some specific considerations seek to cap the amount of services (Behavior Management, Music Therapy, and Recreation Therapy) that an individual is allowed to "buy" with their already approved budget.
For more information on these proposed amendments and others, go here:
