“The Home- and Community-Based Alternatives to PRTFs Medicaid Demonstration waiver program was created by section 6063 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171). This Demonstration waiver program allowed up to ten State grantees to compare effective ways of providing care for children enrolled in the State’s Medicaid grant program in the form of HCBS vs. care in PRTFs. For purposes of the waiver, PRTFs are deemed facilities specified in section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act. The waiver program targets children/youth who might not otherwise be eligible for Medicaid-funded, intensive community-based services and supports.”
