Georgia Medicaid Elderly and Disabled Waiver Amendment

“The Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program assists individuals who are older or disabled and functionally impaired to continue to live in the community with appropriate supports. Individuals served by this program are required to meet the same level of care for admission to a nursing home facility as verified by DCH and their contracted external review organization. Individuals must currently be Medicaid eligible or potentially Medicaid eligible under the expanded criteria as outlined in the waiver.”
