What is Medicaid Waiver?
The Aged and Disabled (A&D) waiver allows individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled to remain in their home or assisted living community as an alternative to nursing home placement.
Who is Eligible for Medicaid Waiver?
Requirements for Indiana State Medicaid Health & Wellness Waiver (ages 59 and under) and Indiana
PathWays (ages 60 and older) Program include…
- Must meet the income and resource limits of Medicaid
- Must qualify for institutional care in order to be eligible for home- and community-based services.
- Must be a fully aged and disabled Medicaid recipient (We can assist with the application process)

If I have Medicaid, does that mean I qualify for Waiver services?
No, the Medicaid Waiver program has its own separate application and approval process, which is based on specific eligibility criteria. It’s important to complete the necessary steps and provide any required documentation to be considered for these services.
