Care Coordination

Care Coordination, Model Waiver

The premiere home care program for children with complex medical needs, disabilities, and technology support.

The Model Waiver is designed to avoid costly long term hospitalization of children with complex medical needs and disabilities by providing medically necessary supportive services in the home funded by Maryland Medicaid.

In addition to medical criteria,which are confirmed by the referring physician, children may be eligible if they:

Are under the age of 22 at the time of referral
Are not eligible for any other Medicaid funded programs

Children can be eligible for Medicaid and the waiver program without regard to family income and resources. This means that so long as the child’s personal resources are within financial eligibility guidelines, and health care needs would require hospitalization without this program, the child may be eligible to participate. Families may have private health insurance, as The Center is adept at merging both private insurance and public resources. There is a cap of 200 on the number of children who may particpate. Once children are participating in the program, they are eligible to receive all Medicaid covered services, as well as other services such as privae duty nursing and care management (care coordination provided by The Coordinating Center.

This statewide program is a model of family centered, holistic, care management. The Center’s comprehensive planning and support are designed to promote natural opportunities for children:

at home
at school
in the neighborhood
on the playground
