HCBS Waiver: Economic Utility and Related Health Outcomes
Article Publication Date
Summary
Waivers allow people to pay for needed home health and personal assistance so they may live in community rather than institutional settings. Little research has examined how effectively these programs ensure proper use of health care services or how they improve the health of people with disabilities or at how effective these programs are when people move from institutional to community settings. The bottom line? People with disabilities continue to have unacceptably high rates of disease.
