To the Honorable, the Legislature:
State statute s.
46.277(5m) requires that the Department of Health and Family Services submit a report to the Legislature each year by October 1, describing the cost and quality of services used under the Medicaid Waiver Program and the extent to which existing services have been used under the program in the preceding calendar year. The attached report covers calendar year 1996 activity for the Community Options Program Waiver and the Community Integration Program II.
These programs are designed to relocate or divert elderly and physically disabled persons from nursing homes and finance their care with Medicaid in a community setting. The level of Medicaid waiver funding must be no greater than the Medicaid cost for nursing home care. This annual report demonstrates that Wisconsin is in compliance with these regulations.
Sincerely,
joe leean
