Comments: The
Developmental Disability Program funds
the majority of their adult services
through Medicaid Waivers. The two
waivers they currently hold are the
Community Supports Waiver and the 0208
Waiver. Because most services are
funded through these Medicaid Waivers, it
is imperative that individuals meet and
maintain their eligibility for
Medicaid. For information on
services provided under each of the two
Waivers, visit www.dphhs.mt.gov,
go to Programs, then Disability Services
Division, Developmental Disabilities
Program, Medicaid Waiver Information,
0208.90 Waiver or MT0371 Community
Supports Waiver, Appendix B.
