Let Your Voice Be Heard on Medicaid Waiver
All interested stakeholders are invited to help define the design of future Medicaid Waivers for people with developmental disabilities in Indiana. One way to provide input is to complete the online Medicaid Waiver Survey, currently being conducted by the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community for the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). This is part of the FSSA’s commitment to soliciting broad-based input for the waiver renewal process.
How to Participate:
If you are a person with a disability currently receiving waiver supports, on the waiting list, a family member, or a provider of waiver services, you are invited to submit your ideas to the conversation via the online survey. Visit the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community’s website at www.iidc.indiana.edu to view a video explaining the waiver input process and take the survey. You’ll find the link under the “Institute Spotlight” section.
The survey is also available in print form. Copies are available to download on the above website. For alternative formats, please email the Indiana Institute at beheard@indiana.edu or call 812-855-6508.
There are also two remaining “Medicaid Waiver Conversation” face-to-face meetings available for input later this month. Last week, the first of these meetings occurred for Indianapolis area participants. The upcoming Conversations are:
Fort Wayne – The League for the Blind at 5821 S. Anthony Blvd.
· February 23rd, 4:30 to 6:30 pm [please note time change ¯ For persons with disabilities and family members
· February 24th, 10:00 am to Noon ¯ For service providers
