Product Description:
The decade between 1998 and 2008 brought a significant expansion of Medicaid-financed long-term services and supports (LTSS) for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). During this time, the combined total end of fiscal year (FY) service recipients in the Medicaid intermediate care facility (ICF/MR) and home and community based services (HCBS) programs for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities increased by 69.6%, from 364,601 to 618,283 (see Table 1). This occurred as ICF/MR residents decreased by 25.0% and HCBS recipients more than doubled, from 240,321 to 525,119, a 118.5% increase.
