Disabled CT residents gain more control over healthcare
Rehab Regs, February 3, 2005
Late last month, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy G. Thompson approved a Connecticut demonstration plan to make it easier for individuals with disabilities to remain in their homes. The measure will give these residents greater control over a broad array of Medicaid services, according to an HHS press release. The Connecticut waiver is the tenth program to be approved under HHS' new Independence Plus initiative, which makes it easier for consumers to retain more control over home and community-based services. The waiver will provide services that include personal care, supported employment, group day services, vehicle modification, specialized medical equipment, companion services, and family training. Connecticut hopes to serve over 3,000 people in this demonstration, according to the press release.
