Trends In Medicaid Home And Community-Based Services Waivers For Older Adults.

ABSTRACT: During the past several decades, state Medicaid programs have expanded the use of home and community-based services, particularly through Section 1915(c) waivers and Section 1115 demonstration waivers. We document trends from the period 1997-2020 in waivers targeting older adults, focusing on services offered. Nearly every service category saw an increase in coverage and spending, especially support for self-direction and community transition.
