HCBS Eligibility

Our services are primarily funded by the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers which are administered by the federal government through Medicaid and by the state of Tennessee. These are long-term care programs that serve or support individuals at home and in their communities.

Approved for Medicaid Waiver

If you are already approved by the state for Waiver Services, you may request services from MHDS through your contacts at DIDD.
