 North Carolina CAP/MR-DD Update
On October 27, 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
approved the Supports and Comprehensive Medicaid waivers submitted by the
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Both
waivers make changes to the Community Alternatives Program for Persons
with Mental Retardation/ Developmental Disabilities (CAP-MR/DD) Medicaid
program. The waiver services are intended to help individuals with
disabilities live and work in integrated settings and to improve
outcome-based quality assurance systems. The approval enabled the state
to move forward with the implementation of the waivers on November 1,
2008. New waiver manuals will be released December 15, 2008.
