Title: Accessing the Florida, Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid Waiver; A Critical Component of the Developmental Disabilities (DD) Care Continuum from 3 years to Death.
Description: It is critical to understand the Florida, Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) and the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver it operates for the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and who it covers.
Moreover, recognize the limitations to achieving Eligibility and how APD collaborates and conflicts with other Florida State Agencies providing Long Term Supports and Services (LTCC) Programs and their differences from Florida Medicaid traditional medical care coverages.
There is also tremendous need to increase awareness of new legislative funding approved in 2023 by the Florida Legislature for the development of additional Medicaid waivers that offer a pathway to long-term supports and services that allow people to live work, worship and recreate in a community base setting.
Furthermore, to reinforce the knowledge of the community of professional guardians that need to understand the multiple models for providing services within Florida Medicaid, for the indigent, elderly and disabled in need of long term supports and services that may be impacted by developmental disabilities.
