Abstract:
This article provides an overview of Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) for older adults and individuals with physical disabilities by describing eligibility criteria, availability, and types of services. All 50 state Medicaid programs provide supplementary HCBS in addition to mandatory services. The amount, type, and eligibility for HCBS varied widely between states. Variation in service provision and eligibility rules has led to a patchwork of services from state to state, with the same person eligible for services in one state but not another.
