Greetings everyone:

 

I have attached Michigan’s TBI waiver application sent to HHS. Also, Michigan is in the process of combining multiple 1915 waivers under an 1115 demonstration waiver (attached as well). Please let me know if there is anything else you may need.

 

Sincerely,

 

Brett Williams

Subject: DD Councils Waivers that provide MEDICAL support for medically-fragile and/or address needs of ind w dual diagnosis

 

In KY, we are looking for examples of waivers that provide the full range of services for:

 

(1)        Individuals who are MEDICALLY FRAGILE

(2)        Individuals who have DUAL DIAGNOSIS (DD and Mental Health or DD and Acquired Brain Injury)

 

Right now, many individuals are struggling because the services either (1) are not available in their community or (2) waivers do not cover them.  Providers are refusing to work with ‘complicated’ individuals.  There appears to be an increase in the number of families seeking involuntary commitments because they feel they have no good options in communities.

 

We may also need suggestions for how you have addressed issues related to Work Force shortages; durable medical equipment; and a host of other related issues.

 

Any waivers or other information you could share would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

MaryLee
