The Aged and Disabled Waiver Program provides in-home and community services to individuals 18 years of age and older

who are medically and financially eligible. Medical eligibility is determined based on an assessment by a medical professional. Financial eligibility is based on monthly income that cannot exceed 300% of the poverty (SSI) level and assets that cannot be valued at more than $2,000; financial eligibility determination is made at the county WV Department of Health and Human Resource Office. Services are provided by Medicaid enrolled providers throughout the state who follow policy based on the ADW Manual issued by

the WV Department of Health and Human Resources. These agencies are monorited for quality assurance by Bureau of Senior Services' staff. The program is provided guidance and

feedback by a Quality Assurance & Improvement Advisory Council.

The West Virginia Medicaid Program offers a comprehensive scope of medically necessary services to diagnose and treat eligible members. Covered and authorized services must be rendered by an enrolled provider within the scope of their license and in accordance with all state and federal requirements. The Aged and Disabled Waiver Program is defined as a long-term care alternative that provides services that enable an individual to remain or return home rather than receiving nursing facility care. Members have a Plan of Care that encompasses:

Homemaker Services, Case Management, Consumer-Directed Case Management, Medical Adult Day Care, Transportation and R.N. Assessment and Review.
