MR/ID Waiver
(Now called: Intellectual Disabilities Waiver)
What is a MR/ID Waiver?
States make applications for Medicaid Waivers with the federal Medicaid agency, known as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This enables states to waive the usual requirements that individuals must reside in an institution in order to receive Medicaid funding for services. In this way, Medicaid funds can be used for community-based alternatives versus institutional care. Virginia has been offering Medicaid funded community based supports to individuals with intellectual disabilities through the MR Waiver since 1991.
