The Roadmap to Understanding Texas Medicaid Waiver Services provides basic information with tips on access and use of Texas Medicaid Waivers. The information pulls from a variety of resources and experts, intended to assist a person with a disability or others who provide support, to make decisions about getting on the waiver interest list, choosing between different waivers and making the most of their waiver services.

The Roadmap relies on current information available. Just like the highway system, there is always something new under construction or old roads under repair. Be sure and use your local or state resource people to find out the most current funding amounts, rules or changes that affect the Medicaid Waiver that interests you.

The Roadmap combines the principles of self-determination with the rules and guidelines of the Medicaid waivers, to give you a chance of getting to where you want to go with your life. Like taking a trip, in your life – you determine your destination (Freedom), you are more successful getting to where you want to go if you plan well for making decisions (Authority), use your financial resources (Responsibility), get the assistance you need when you need it (Support), and you remain central in making all the decisions that affect you (Confirmation).

Creation of The Roadmap is made possible through funding from the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities so that more people with disabilities have access to more information to make better decisions.
