Did you know that Kentucky has expanded its 1915(c) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver offerings with a new program, the Community Health for Improved Lives and Development (CHILD) waiver? The CHILD waiver provides home and community-based services and support for children and youth with high-intensity behavioral health or developmental needs. CHILD offers services not available through the Medicaid state plan to support children and youth in the community as they work toward their unique goals. Interested providers must meet certified provider qualifications as defined in the approved waiver application and already be enrolled as a Kentucky Medicaid provider.

To see if you qualify as a CHILD provider, please view the CHILD Provider Certification and Onboarding Guide: https://buff.ly/wxbaVXV, or email the waiver help desk at [email protected].
