EPD Waiver Program
| The EPD waiver program is a Medicaid Waiver choice program for the elderly (65 years), and persons with physical disabilities (adults 18 years and older) who are able to safely receive supportive services in a home instead of a nursing home, or community based setting. Licensed case managers provide case management services and assist with the following services: • Communicate with other providers regarding the recipient's goals and progress • Identify and resolve problems • Make referrals or linkages to community resources • Assist the recipient in gaining access to needed Medicaid-financed services and all other needed supports (for example, medical, financial, counseling, housing, adult day care, and personal assistance) that are necessary to maintain the recipient in the community • Coordinate all waiver services for the recipients to ensure services provided to recipients are delivered in a safe, timely, and cost-effective manner • Provide supportive counseling to the recipient and family as appropriate; and address and resolve identified problems |
