Arizona currently operates one 1115 demonstration waiver and serves all children with disabilities through this program. View Arizona’s Health Care Cost Containment System Page. Because Arizona operates its program through a demonstration waiver, some federal rules are waived.
If you have been approved, please have your case manager email us at: [email protected] to place an order on your behalf.
Circumstance/Diagnosis: Any child or adult who is diagnosed with either an intellectual and/or developmental disability (this includes autism). The state requires that individuals need an intermediate care facility level of care to qualify. There is a technical definition for this, but it essentially means that the individual is unable to get through their day without a lot of supervision.
Income: Income eligibility is only based on the child’s income and not the parents income. This means that your child is financially eligible for the waiver if they don’t have an income.
