Technology Assisted HCBS Waiver

Technology Assisted HCBS Waiver Program Overview

The Technology Assisted waiver helps people dependent on a medical device to get support right in their own home. If you’re chronically ill or considered medically fragile, this program helps you control your own services and supports. You can keep your lifestyle and hire people you trust to provide your services.

To join the program, you must need daily support from both a nurse and medical technology. This care must be similar to the care you would get in a hospital to prevent death or further disability. The goal of the program is to get you the same (or better) support than what you would get in the hospital. All while staying in your own home and community.
