Understanding New Hampshire Medicaid

New Hampshire currently has a TEFRA-like program and two HCBS 1915(c) waivers that serve children. All three programs waive parent income. An overview of New Hampshire’s programs can be found on its Children’s Medicaid page and Waivers.

New Hampshire also has a behavioral health program, including home and community based services, through a 1915(i) program. This program provides care coordination, respite, and other wraparound services.
