Summary
Mississippi's Independent Living (IL) Waiver renewal has been approved by CMS, effective July 1, 2023. This waiver provides home and community-based services for individuals aged 16+ with severe orthopedic/neurological impairments who would otherwise require nursing facility care, including personal care, case management, medical equipment, and environmental adaptations.
Action Required
By July 1, 2023: Billing teams serving Mississippi Medicaid patients should review updated service rates, provider qualification requirements, and case management specifications under the renewed IL Waiver. Update billing procedures to align with new auditing methodology and ensure compliance with revised quality metrics for waiver services.
