 i just opened this week's ARC of Indiana newsletter.

And
here's a couple topics i thought i'd highlight for you:

Updated Medicaid Waiver Guide

Medicaid Waivers, sometimes called Home and Community Based Services, allow Medicaid to fund supports and services for children and adults with disabilities in their family homes or communities instead of institutions.  Medicaid Waivers allow an individual to use the traditional Medicaid State Health Plan along with the additional services available through the Medicaid Waiver program. 

Complete information about the waiver program, along with information on other programs and services, as well as information on building natural supports through community connections, can be found in our updated Medicaid Waiver guide:

An Introduction to Indiana’s Medicaid Waiver Program
for Home and Community Based Services
