Waiver and payment options
Understanding your support options
The language around services, waivers, authorizations, and provider availability can feel complicated. This overview explains the options Life Choice currently publishes and where to begin.
CIH
Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver
The CIH Waiver supports eligible individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through authorized home and community-based services. The approved person-centered plan identifies the services and outcomes authorized for the individual.
FS
Family Supports Waiver
The FS Waiver supports eligible individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in home, family, and community settings. The approved plan and authorization determine which services are available to the person.
Private pay
Private pay
Private-pay services may be an option when a family wants to purchase an available service outside of, or in addition to, an authorized waiver arrangement. Life Choice must confirm that the requested service can be provided privately, along with the scope, schedule, rate, agreement, and availability.
Be clear about the line
What Life Choice can and cannot confirm
Life Choice can explain which of its services are currently certified and available.
Life Choice can review the service request, location, schedule, and support needs for provider fit.
Outside our control
Life Choice cannot guarantee waiver eligibility, authorization, placement, funding, or start dates. The applicable Indiana agencies, planning process, and approved person-centered plan determine eligibility and authorization.
