Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.10.700
Under 42 CFR Section 440.180, it is the intention of the Department to provide waiver services to eligible adult participants to prevent unnecessary institutional placement, provide for the greatest degree of independence possible, enhance the quality of life, encourage individual choice, and achieve and maintain community integration. For an adult participant to be eligible, the Department must find that the participant requires services due to a developmental disability that impairs their mental or physical function or independence, is capable of being maintained safely and effectively in a non-institutional setting, and would, in the absence of such services, need to reside in an ICF/IID. Through the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Department reserves the right to temporarily alter requirements and processes related to the Adult DD waiver program to mitigate spread of disease and to ensure the health and safety of our participants under the guidance and authority of the provisions in a CMS approved 1135 waiver or HCBS Attachment K amendment to the existing Adult Developmental Disability waiver. In the event additional changes are required in the future, guidance will be posted on the Medicaid Information Releases webpage. (3-17-22)
