The Seminar will provide an overview of the two new federal Medicaid waivers and plans for implementing the changes in 2008:
• NOW: New Options Waiver for persons who live with family members or in their own home, and
• COMP: Comprehensive Supports Waiver Program for persons who need a full range of out-of-home services or intensive, in-home services who do not otherwise quality for the NOW program
These new waivers are designed to offer persons more control over how their service dollars are spent, whether in-home and/or in the community.
