Medicaid Long‐Term Supports and Services in Maryland: The Autism Waiver, FY 2001 to FY 2008

Abstract

This series of chart books, entitled Medicaid Long-Term Supports and Services in Maryland, summarizes demographic, service utilization, and expenditure data for state fiscal years 2001 through 2008 on three Maryland Medicaid waiver programs—the Older Adults Waiver, the Living at Home Waiver, and the Autism Waiver—and on nursing facility utilization among Maryland Medicaid recipients. These chart books, prepared for the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, are intended to monitor trends in these programs. Hilltop plans to update the chart books annually.

The Autism Waiver Chart Book provides information on Maryland Medicaid participants who receive services through this program, which provides home and community-based services to children aged 1 through 21 years with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Autism Waiver is administered by the Maryland State Department of Education.
