Question 1

What is the 1915(i) program?

Accepted Answer

The 1915(i) State Plan Amendment is a Medicaid provision that allows states to offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) to eligible individuals. These services help people with mental health conditions, disabilities, or chronic illnesses live independently in their communities rather than in institutional settings.

Question 2

How is 1915(i) different from other Medicaid programs?

Accepted Answer

Unlike other Medicaid waiver programs, 1915(i) does not require individuals to meet an institutional level of care to receive services. This makes HCBS available to more people who can benefit from community-based support but might not qualify under traditional waiver programs.

Question 3

Is there a cost for 1915(i) services?

Accepted Answer

For individuals who qualify for Medicaid and meet the 1915(i) eligibility criteria, services are typically provided at no cost or minimal cost-sharing, depending on your state's program structure. Contact us to learn about costs in your specific situation.
