Innovation Services
The Medicaid Innovations Waiver supports individuals with I/DD in living the life they choose. Waiver services are administered by a local management entity/managed care organization (LME/MCO), which facilitates services and oversees a network of community-based service providers. Individuals who receive waiver funding work with their team to develop a person-centered plan of care and request the services and supports they need.
