Changes to Medicaid Waiver Programs

Effective December 1, 2011, several changes have been made to the Medicaid developmental disability residential (DD), Supported Living Services (SLS) and Children’s Extensive Services (CES) waivers. The waiver changes will affect individual plans going forward in the areas of: dental services, behavioral services, residential day habilitation services; and prevocational services.

More detailed information can be found on the Division for Developmental Disabilities website in the “What’s New” section at: http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDHS-VetDis/CBON/1251586991108.

Resource Coordinators have been informed of the changes and can help navigate clients and families thorough the process.
