Resource guide for State Medicaid Programs

The Center for Self-Determination (CSD) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are collaborating on an exciting new project to advance the philosophy and implementation of self-determination. With an Advisory Group providing input CSD⁄CMS will jointly develop a resource guide for State Medicaid Agencies and Medicaid programs serving all disabilities and aging. This guide will include elements such as how self-determination can foster independent living in the community, best practices of programs already incorporating self-determination, challenges States have faced in designing and implementing self-determination-focused programs, and how self-determination can be funded under the Medicaid statutory and regulatory framework. It will also include sections on rethinking quality and income and asset development to overcome the effects of personal impoverishment.
