Request Title | Change Definition for Alzheimer'sWaiver |
Biennium | 2014-2016 |
Budget Round | Amended Bill |
Half Sheet Number | 301#18c |
Description
This amendment modifies the definition of eligibility criteria for the Medicaid Alzheimer's Assisted Living waiver to more broadly define eligible individuals that may be served by the waiver program. Currently, eligibility criteria for the waiver set forth in the Virginia Administrative Code defines those eligible as individuals with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or a related dementia, however, it does not recognize the similar needs of individuals with other types of dementia. This change would allow the waiver to include individuals with a serious cognitive impairment due to a primary psychiatric diagnosis of dementia, as defined in the Virginia Administrative Code within the Standards for Licensed Assisted Living Facilities. |
