TennCare's Employment Program
[link removed]
October's Leading To Health column highlights a Tennessee employment
program
for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)
created and paid for by TennCare, the state's Medicaid program.
The program-Employment and Community First Choices (ECF
CHOICES)-creates access to integrated employment opportunities for
people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
It's based on the premise that employment provides a crucial boost to
the well-being of people living with IDD by strengthening their ties to
the broader community and creating routine social interaction at work.
ECF CHOICES has succeed in expanding access to home and community-based
care for people with IDD and increasing the number of working-age adults
with IDD enrolled in home and community-based care, Heather Tirado
Gilligan reports.
The program has also decreased costs for home-based services. In the
Section 1915(c) waiver programs, the average annual cost of services per
person was $95,000; those costs were $25,000 per person for ECF CHOICES.

newsletter to receive
