California Medicaid pays for in-home personal care and related services through 2 programs, including the Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver and the Home and Community-Based Services Waiver for the Developmentally Disabled (HCBS-DD). California has 1915(c) HCBS waivers administered by DHCS. Waiver Personal Care Services (WPCS) is offered for individuals with complex medical needs through the HCBA Waiver. Recipients must have full-scope Medi-Cal eligibility. The IHSS program (Welfare & Institutions Code §12300) is a separate state-plan personal care program rather than a 1915(c) waiver.
Each waiver below lists who it covers, the services it pays for, and how providers bill.
Authorizations
To bill Medicaid for home care you need a state license, a Type 2 NPI, state Medicaid enrollment and screening, waiver or managed care contracts, EVV and authorizations.
Operations
Private pay means higher rates and fast payment; Medicaid means steady volume at state-set rates with authorizations and EVV. Compare rates, cash timing and admin before you mix them.
Authorizations
