Summary:
What are the policy options for Medicaid HCBS? This fact sheet suggests: broadening the scope of covered services, enhancing federal Medicaid matches to states to expand HCBS, allowing Medicaid HCBS beneficiaries to retain more assets to pay for home modifications or health services not covered by Medicaid, and allowing Medicaid HCBS waiver programs to serve people with lower levels of functional disability than those required for people in nursing homes.
