Florida Medicaid Alzheimer's Home and Community-Based Waiver Program: An Evaluation
Publication Date: 6/1/2006
Description:
In November 2003, the Florida Medicaid Program submitted a 1915 (b) (4) and a 1915 (c) waiver proposal to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As approved by CMS, the proposal called for a Medicaid Alzheimer's Home and Community-Based Waiver Program. The program would utilize the services of three vendors to be selected through a competitive bidding process. The successful vendors for the program, hereafter referred to as the Medicaid Alzheimer's Program (MAP), were to develop a network of service providers to deliver direct services to recipients. Authorized services included: (1) case management, (2) adult day care, (3) respite care, (4) wanderer alarm systems, (5) wanderer identification and location programs, (6) caregiver training, (7) behavioral assessment and intervention, (8) incontinence supplies, (9) personal care assistance, (10) environmental modifications, and (11) pharmacy review.
