About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Iowa Medicaid HCBS Home and Vehicle Modification Benefit in its Des Moines, IA research directory. Directory placement does not confirm current service coverage or eligibility; verify both with the program administrator.
Certain Iowa Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waivers may cover an environmental modification when it is necessary for a member's health, welfare, safety, independence, or access. The waiver, assessed need, service plan, prior authorization, least-cost requirement, other available funding, bids, and service limits control. This listing does not establish Medicaid or waiver eligibility.
