Individuals or families apply through Idaho's Developmental Disabilities Program or Aged & Disabled Program.

An independent assessment, known as the SIB-R (Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised), helps determine the individual's level of need.

Once approved, a service coordinator works with the individual and their circle of support to develop a personalized, person-centered service plan.

Medicaid Waiver Programs

Residential services are commonly funded through:

  • Adult Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver
  • Aged & Disabled (A&D) Waiver

Once services are authorized, providers bill Idaho Medicaid directly for approved services. Most individuals do not pay out of pocket for authorized waiver services.
