Método de Pesquisa
Waiver data for this analysis were obtained by reviewing each waiver application that was avail able on the CMS Medicaid.gov Web site over a period of 20 months (May 2010 to January 2012). It should be noted that the authors were aware of at least 25 additional waiver programs that were operating in the states in FY 2010; however, these programs were not available on the CMS Web site for inclusion in the analysis.
Principais Descobertas
This study sought to provide current aggregate-level information on how states are providing supports and services within the Medicaid HCBS Waiver program.
Comentário Avaliativo
A full understanding of the supports available through the Medicaid program is critical as the United States considers strategies for economic recovery among competing state and federal budget priorities.
