Isn’t this going to cost extra money, and where will the money come from?
Based on an independent analysis of Family Care the State of Wisconsin, which oversees the program, has projected that savings generated under the new system through the integrated management of long-term care services and a focus on prevention will allow for ‘cost neutral’ expansion, allowing more clients to be served. Existing funds will be reallocated from other long-term care programs including Medical Assistance (MA) Waiver programs like Community Options Program (COP), Community Integration Program (CIP) and the Brain Injury Waiver (BIW) Program, and some MA ‘card’ services like institutional and personal care. Family Care combines most of the federal, state and county funds associated with these programs.
