Home- and Community-Based Services for Older Adults and People with Disabilities

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM), Bureau of Long-Term Services and Supports (BLTSS) posted new consumer resources this week about Medicaid Home-and Community Based Services (HCBS) programs for older adults and people with disabilities, including the Assisted Living waiver, MyCare Ohio, Ohio Home Care waiver and PASSPORT.  

Individuals and community stakeholders can compare eligibility, administration, and services for each program by referring to the Ohio Medicaid HCBS Nursing Facility Level of Care Programs resource. You can read this document by clicking here. 

More information about all Ohio Medicaid HCBS programs can be found on the HCBS web page at this link. 

For individuals and community stakeholders seeking information on MyCare Ohio, along with guidance on moving through the MyCare Ohio process, a new resource has been developed called MyCare Ohio Process. The document outlines communication and information sharing expectations when members are moving between MyCare plans or the Ohio Home Care, PASSPORT, or Assisted Living waivers.
