The authors present the results of a survey demonstrating how Medicaid programs use the home and community-based waiver programs to provide services to people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and to other targeted groups. The survey identified a number of waiver services that are effective at meeting the care needs of people with AIDS, such as case management, personal care, respite care, home intravenous therapy, attendant care, hospice, and home-delivered meals. The study demonstrates that in addition to the AIDS-specific waiver program, State Medicaid programs use the home and community-based care waiver programs for the elderly and disabled to provide services to people with AIDS because of their disability status.
作者展示了一项调查结果,该调查表明医疗补助计划如何利用基于家庭和社区的豁免计划为获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)患者及其他目标群体提供服务。该调查确定了一些在满足艾滋病患者护理需求方面有效的豁免服务,如病例管理、个人护理、临时护理、家庭静脉治疗、陪护护理、临终关怀和上门送餐服务。该研究表明,除了针对艾滋病的豁免计划外,州医疗补助计划还利用针对老年人和残疾人的基于家庭和社区的护理豁免计划,因其残疾状况为艾滋病患者提供服务。
