How the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Shapes the Future of Home- and Community-Based Services
The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may transform home- and
community-based services in the Medicaid program. The Act shifts

services through their Medicaid state plans instead of through waiver
programs, and promotes uniformity in consumer-focused standards for
home- and community-based services.
