The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has clarified qualification requirements for Residential Habilitation in the Consolidated Waiver specifically for individuals with a Medically Complex Condition (MCC).


Currently, there are about ten providers qualified to provide Residential Habilitation to individuals with an MCC in the Consolidated Waiver. To ensure that individuals with an MCC have access to needed services, current residential providers are encouraged to become qualified to provide Residential Habilitation to individuals with a MCC.


Please see ODPANN 26-044 for more information and details on the following:

  • Why Should Providers Become Qualified?
  • What are the Steps for Current Residential Providers to become an MCC Residential Habilitation Provider?
  • What are the Responsibilities of the Administrative Entity (AE) to Support Current Residential Providers to become MCC Qualified?


Questions about this communication should be directed to the appropriate ODP Regional Office.
