SED Waiver A Medicaid Waiver Services case manager/wraparound facilitator has explained the array of available services available to meet my needs through the Medicaid Home and Community-based services Waiver. SECTION I: CHOICE BETWEEN HOSPITAL PLACEMENT AND SED WAIVER SERVICES
SERVICES AVAILABLE State Hospital SED Waiver
I have been fully informed of the services available to me in a hospital setting. I understand the alternatives available and have been given the opportunity to choose between waiver services in home and community-based settings and hospital care. I understand that in order to be eligible for Medicaid Waiver Services, the costs of waiver services in home and community-based settings must comply with waiver programmatic cost-effectiveness. As long as I remain eligible for waiver services, I will continue to have opportunity to choose between waiver services in home and community-based settings and hospital care. CHOICE OF PROVIDER(S) AND SERVICE At this time I have chosen to receive waiver services in home and community-based settings, rather than services in a hospital setting. I have been informed of my right to choose any certified waiver provider when selecting waiver service providers. At this time I have chosen to receive services in a hospital setting, rather than waiver services in home and community-based settings.
