February 2003
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
The home and community-based Medicaid waiver that serves seniors in Maryland requires restructuring, in order to make services available to eligible seniors on a more expedited basis. In our report, we researched this waiver, known as the "Older Adults Waiver," and we made several recommendations to make the it more efficient. These recommendations include a sequence to develop a single point of entry, as well as tools to recruit, retain and pay providers, to ensure capacity in the community.
