Over the past five years, there has been explosive growth in the number of states implementing comprehensive Medicaid managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) programs; however, most have excluded LTSS services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Serving people with I/DD requires unique approaches to program development, implementation, and management. The MLTSS Institute recently released report, “MLTSS for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities” highlights the key elements that increase the likelihood of program success, focusing on best practices by both states and health plans.
