Summary
New Jersey Medicaid consolidated three separate home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers for blind or disabled individuals into one combined waiver effective April 1, 2002. The merger increases total funded slots from 150 to 250 and streamlines enrollment, but does not change eligibility criteria, service offerings, or billing requirements for case management and private duty nursing services.
Action Required
This policy is informational only and does not require immediate billing workflow changes. Medical billing teams in New Jersey should note that claims for case management and private duty nursing services for Medicaid HCBS waiver beneficiaries continue under the same service codes and billing procedures. No updates to billing software, encounter forms, or provider documentation are necessary. For questions, contact the Division of Disability Services at 609-588-2620.
