DMH and Division of Medicaid Request Public Input on Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services
The Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) Office of Mental Health in conjunction with the Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) Bureau of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities requests your feedback in the renewal of the 1915(c) Home and Community Based Intellectual Disabilities/Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD) Waiver and 1915(i) Community Support Program (CSP). DOM and DMH are seeking input regarding recommended changes from participants, caregivers, providers, and other community stakeholders prior to the submission of the renewal application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Comments or recommendations specific to this waiver must be received by February 24, 2023.
Intellectual Disabilities/Developmental Disabilities and Community Support Program Basics
The Intellectual Disabilities/Developmental Disabilities Waiver and Community Support Program are statewide programs administered by the DOM and operated by the DMH. They are designed to offer assistance and services in a home or community‐based setting for those who meet the criteria and qualify for Medicaid. The program allows persons to receive services and supports in their home as an alternative to intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID). The current documents are available for review by clicking below:
