Medicaid Waiver Guide – Oklahoma

Understanding Oklahoma Medicaid

Oklahoma currently has three waivers/programs that serve children, including a TEFRA program and two home and community based 1915(c) waivers. The TEFRA program waives parent income, the Community waiver does not, and we are unsure of the deeming status of the In-Home Supports waiver. See Oklahoma’s HCBS Waivers page for general information.
