Medicaid Waivers
Medicaid Waivers/Home and Community-Based Services
Medicaid Waivers, sometimes called Home and Community Based Services (HCBS), allow Medicaid to fund supports and services for children and adults with disabilities in their family homes or community residential programs instead of institutions. Medicaid Waivers allow an individual to use traditional Medicaid services and the additional services available through the Medicaid Waiver program.
The state made changes to Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver program in 2024, and additonal changes are planned. Please visit Medicaid Waiver Changes for information and updates.
Please review this guide, A Guide to Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver Program for Home & Community Based Services, for information on waivers and where to apply.
FSSA has created an online resource to confirm an individual’s waiting list placement for the Health and Wellness, PathWays, and Family Supports waivers. The Online HCBS Waitlist Dashboard is available at ddrsprovider.fssa.in.gov. FSSA’s guide to accessing and using this resource is available here. Review our fact sheet for information on how to access and utilize the dashboard.
