Plain-language overview
Health & Wellness Waiver is one of Indiana’s Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers. Waivers let eligible people receive authorized supports in community settings as an alternative to institutional care.
Who the program generally serves
People age 59 or younger who meet nursing-facility level-of-care and other program requirements.
Eligibility and level of care
Eligibility generally includes Medicaid financial rules and program-specific functional or diagnostic requirements. “Level of care” is the assessed support threshold for the program. FFAC does not perform or approve these determinations.
How to apply
Indiana’s Level of Care Assessment Representative and FSSA resources explain current intake and assessment steps. Ask the case manager or service coordinator which path applies.
How services are coordinated
A case manager, service coordinator, health plan, or program-specific coordinator helps develop and maintain the participant-centered plan. Services must appear in the approved plan before FFAC can provide them.
Current service information
Official program materials include Attendant Care and other waiver-specific supports. Home & Community Assistance and complete service lists must be checked against the current official waiver and service definition before a plan is made.
For the complete current service list, application instructions, and any waiting-list or capacity information, use the official Indiana resource linked below. Precise details can change and should be confirmed with the administering program.
Attendant Care and Home & Community Assistance
Home & Community Assistance
Home & Community Assistance may support authorized household routines and community functioning. It is non-skilled support, not medical treatment, and must be included in the approved plan.
Provider choice and an existing caregiver
Participants generally choose among providers available for the program, service, county, authorization, and applicable network. An existing caregiver may apply to work through FFAC, but the person must qualify, be hired, and complete screening, training, documentation, and employment requirements. Relationship rules and authorization still apply.
