Variation by Disability in State Predictors of Medicaid 1915c Waiver Use and Expenditures

12/10/2005 | Requests *

Summary

The December Gerontologist highlights a study which reviewed the state-level Medicaid 1915c data from 1992-2001 and compared state predictors of waiver utilization and expenditures for waivers serving both older and working age individuals relative to waivers serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The results found that increased community-based-care capacity appears to be an important factor in efforts to expand the availability of Medicaid community-based-care.
