Medicaid Long Term Care Coverage for Home Modifications & Assistive Technology

Summary
Home modifications can become necessary for people who are older or have a chronic illness, and almost every state has a Medicaid program that will help pay for these modifications. Wheelchair ramps, widening of hallways, grab bars, and even simple improvements like brighter lighting are all home modifications that might help your loved one remain living independently, so they are all likely to be covered by Medicaid. Every state has different rules, but one guiding principle for Medicaid Long Term Care across the country is the goal of keeping people in their homes and delaying the move to nursing homes for as long as possible. Changing a house to make it safer and more accessible fulfills that goal.

What Defines a Home Modification According to Medicaid?

In addition to home modifications like wheel chair ramps, some items that might be considered assistive technology or adaptive technology (like large digital displays or easy-use light fixtures) are also defined as home modifications by Medicaid. Examples of Medicaid-defined home modifications include the following:

Accessory apartments: additions to the home that provide a safe living space for the disabled person or their caregiver
Larger digital displays: make important readouts like clocks, climate controls, and computer monitors easier to see for someone who is vision-impaired
Easy-use fixtures: oversized light switches, levers instead of knobs on faucets, etc.
Grab bars or handrails: usually in the bathroom, hallway, or stairs
Brighter lighting
Roll-out shelving for easy access to food, clothes, and other stored items
Push-button automatic door openers
Security systems for remote monitoring
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) in case of an accident (a.k.a. Medical Alerts)
Flooring upgrades, like replacing carpet with smooth surfaces for a wheelchair
Stair lifts to get up and down stairs while seated in an electric chair
Traction strips in the bathroom or wherever a slick floor might be dangerous (like on stairs)
Transfer chairs or benches for getting into a wheelchair or the tub/shower
Walk-in tub/shower that is wheelchair accessible with a seat
Wheelchair ramps
Widening doorways and/or hallways

Don’t Do It Yourself: If home modifications are necessary for you or your loved one, it’s best to have an occupational therapist assess what upgrades you need. Occupational therapists know what’s required at the time and into the future, and stay up-to-date on available options. “Needs assessments” conducted by occupational therapists are included in many Medicaid Long Term Care programs described on this page.

What Defines a Home According to Medicaid?

A beneficiary’s single-family house may be the most common place for Medicaid-funded home modifications, but it’s not the only one. If the beneficiary lives in the home of a family member or a loved one, Medicaid may cover home modifications in those settings, depending on the state and the program. And the home of the beneficiary or their loved one could be a condo, a mobile home, a house boat, or a unit in a multi-family house or an apartment building. However, it’s important to check with the owner of the property before making any physical changes if the home is rented.

Difference Between Labor and Materials

Depending on the state and particular Medicaid program, it might be necessary to distinguish between labor and materials when making home modifications. Materials are the equipment, like stair lifts or grab bars, that are installed in the home. Labor is the work to install it. It is possible that your state’s Medicaid Long Term Care program covers the cost of materials, but not labor.

Materials would be classified officially as durable medical equipment, or DME, which is usually covered by the Medicaid programs described on this page, especially Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers.

While Medicaid might not cover costs for installing home modifications, this doesn’t mean you need to pay out-of-pocket for installation. Many communities have local organizations that provide the labor to install home modifications for free. Medicaid programs are for low-income individuals, and sometimes contractors offer reduced rates, or in some cases even free labor for those considered financially needy.

Types of Medicaid That Pay for Home Modifications

Home modifications are just the type of cost-saving services Medicaid is evolving to cover. The aim of many Medicaid programs is to keep someone in their own home for as long as possible, because nursing homes are expensive and Medicaid pays 100% of the cost for qualified individuals. Sometimes, a change as simple as installing a stair lift or wheelchair ramp can make the difference between staying at home or needing to move into a nursing home.

Home and Community Based Services Waivers

One of the most common ways for Medicaid to pay for home modifications is through a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver. Exactly what type of home modifications an HCBS Waiver will cover depends on the state where you live and the HCBS Waiver (some states have more than one). Some states and Waivers distinguish between assistive technology, like brighter lighting, and actual physical modifications, like wheelchair ramps. Some states and Waivers might cover the cost of equipment and materials, but not the labor to install it. Some might not pay for home modifications that increase the size or value of the home. Some might cover modifications if the beneficiary lives in the home of a family member or a loved one, some might not.

While the rules and scope of HCBS Waivers depend on the state and the program, all HCBS Waivers are designed to delay nursing home placement. This is a win-win situation since most seniors would prefer to live in their own home for as long as possible, and it’s in the state’s best interest to provide the most cost-effective care. Home modifications can help achieve both of those goals.

Aged, Blind and Disabled Medicaid

Home modifications may also be covered through Aged, Blind and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid. ABD Medicaid can sometimes be referred to as state Medicaid or regular Medicaid for seniors, but it should not be confused with the regular Medicaid that is available for low-income people of all ages.

Seniors only need to be age 65 or older to qualify for ABD Medicaid. However, applicants will be evaluated by the state, and if they need long-term care services and supports to live independently in the community, including home modifications, ABD Medicaid may cover those modifications. The coverage depends on the needs and circumstances of the individual, the ABD Medicaid coverage in their state of residence, as well as the type and cost of the necessary home modifications.

ABD Medicaid is an entitlement, which means that anyone who meets the requirements is guaranteed by law to receive the benefits without any wait, including long term care benefits. This is different from Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) Waivers. Instead, HCBS Waivers have a limited number of enrollment spots, and once those spots are full, additional applicants are placed on a waitlist before receiving benefits. So, being an entitlement is a plus for ABD Medicaid. A plus for HCBS Waivers is that, in general, they have less strict financial eligibility criteria than ABD Medicaid.

Consumer Directed Care

Even if home modifications are not specifically listed as benefits for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, ABD Medicaid, or any other Medicaid program in your state, it may still be possible to pay for home modifications with Medicaid funds via Consumer Directed Care. With Consumer Directed Care, Medicaid beneficiaries are given a predetermined budget and can spend that on approved healthcare services and supports, which may include home modifications.

For example, a Medicaid beneficiary is enrolled in an HCBS Waiver that doesn’t list home modifications as a benefit, but it does have a Consumer Directed Care option. That beneficiary can pay for home modifications with their Consumer Directed Care budget, as long as it’s approved by their state Medicaid agency.

Managed Care

Some states deliver Medicaid Long Term Care services and supports through a Managed Care Organization. Managed care programs offer benefits similar to Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, including labor and materials for home modifications, provided through Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) that have formed a relationship with Medicaid to make delivery of benefits more efficient. Medicaid Managed Care programs have replaced HCBS Waivers in some states, like Florida, where the former HCBS Waiver benefits are now delivered through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) Program.

Money Follows the Person

Sometimes, an individual will spend time in a nursing home, but then wish to return to living in their own home, or somewhere else in the community. They may have suffered an injury or needed to recover from surgery, or maybe they have come to realize full-time nursing home care is not necessary. Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a Medicaid program that will help cover expenses related to moving out of a nursing home and into the community. That help might include paying for home modifications that would allow the Medicaid beneficiary to live independently in their home in the community as opposed to the nursing home.

MFP can also cover transition costs like paying for movers, rental deposits, utility set-up fees, and basic furnishings. MFP is currently available in 37 states and Washington, D.C. In some states it is simply called Money Follows the Person, but it has alternative names in other states. In West Virginia, for example, it is called Take Me Home, and in Maine it is called Homeward Bound.

Finding Medicaid Programs that Pay for Home Modifications

Medicaid is different in every state, but they all have some form of Long Term Care program and almost all of them have a benefit to cover home modifications. The eligibility criteria is different in every state, meaning it varies what level of functional and financial need qualifies a person to receive Medicaid benefits. The amount of financial help will also vary, as some programs offer coverage for materials and labor both, while others do not. Likewise, some states offer Consumer Directed Care (see above) and others do not.

What follows is a state-specific list of Medicaid programs that cover home modifications for people who are elderly or infirm, and would need to move into a nursing home if not for long term care services and supports, including home modifications.

Waivers are not an entitlement. It’s important to note that unlike ABD Medicaid (and Nursing Home Medicaid), HCBS Waivers are not an entitlement, which means guaranteed by law. Instead, HCBS Waivers have a limited number of enrollment spots, and once those spots are full, additional applicants are placed on waitlists that could last months or even years.

Eligibility Requirements for Medicaid Home Modifications

The eligibility criteria for home modifications depends on the specific Medicaid program under which the benefit is offered. In addition, eligibility is state-specific, and application specific. To learn the specific eligibility criteria for any Medicaid program, use our Medicaid Eligibility Requirements Finder.

For home modifications specifically, in additional to being financially and medically eligible for the Medicaid program through which home modifications are offered, there will be an additional requirement that the individual must have a specific need for the modification that is being requested. In many cases, Medicaid-funded, home modifications are approved on a case-by-case basis.

If you are over your financial eligibility limits, or have questions about home modifications or other Medicaid Long Term Care benefits, contact a professional for some personalized advice.
