1915(c) HCBS waiver services are included in the Missouri Medicaid Program under the authority of a Home and Community-Based Waiver granted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Under a waiver, certain services that could not otherwise be reimbursed under Title XIX may be provided to a select group of participants, in order to provide an alternative to institutional care.
The below waivers are administered by the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), the operating agency; and MO HealthNet Division (MHD) provides the oversight as the single-state Medicaid agency. The chart below shows the operating agencies for each waiver, as well as the agencies’ waiver information and referral/intake websites.
