The Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Program, section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act (the Act) is the Medicaid program alternative to providing long-term care in institutional settings. HCBS programs vary from state to state. States may use an HCBS waiver program to provide a combination of both traditional medical services like dental services and non-medical services like respite care. For about what is available in your state, see a list of state waiver programs.
