Start here

Review the DC HCBS waiver program

Before you start

  • Medicaid notice, DDA eligibility, level-of-care records, ISP, waiver notices, and proposed services.

Who to contact

Assigned Service Coordinator and DDA Medicaid Waiver Unit at 202-730-1556.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the written waiver enrollment or remaining eligibility decision.
  2. For each planned service, ask whether assessment, authorization, provider selection, or another step remains open.
  3. Record the decision owner and next dated event for each service.

Expected next

A documented waiver status and a service-by-service list of open authorization or provider steps.

Save this proof

Waiver notice, Medicaid evidence, ISP, service authorizations, provider referrals, and contact log.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the Service Coordinator and Waiver Unit to name the exact open decision rather than describing the case as generally pending.
