The deadline to share feedback is June 30.
Families have an opportunity to share feedback on proposed updates to the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waiver for Medically Fragile, Technology Dependent (MFTD) Children.
The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is the Medicaid agency responsible for the MFTD waiver. Many families in the Home Care Program have children who receive services through the MFTD waiver.
HFS must renew Illinois’ MFTD waiver every five years. HFS and the Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) have partnered to make several changes as part of this year’s renewal process.
To review the full list of waiver updates, you can:
- See page 2 of the electronic copy of the proposed renewal application.
- Review a hard copy at HFS’ offices at:
- 201 South Grand Ave. E.,
Springfield, IL 62763 - 401 S. Clinton
Chicago, IL 60607
- 201 South Grand Ave. E.,
HFS now seeks public input on these changes. (You can read the public comment notice on the HFS website.)
The deadline to provide feedback is June 30.
You can share your feedback in two ways:
- Via email to HFS.HCBSWaiver@illinois.gov
- Via mail to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, Attention: Waiver Operations Management, 201 South Grand Ave. E., 2FL, Springfield, IL 62763
HFS will send your comments to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as part of the waiver approval process.
If you have questions, please contact HFS’s Waiver Operations Management Unit at (217) 524-4148 or (844) 528-8444.
