Eligibility for specific Texas Medicaid programs, particularly those serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through the STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program utilizing the Older Adults and People with Disabilities (OAPD) Medicaid Managed Care Regional Healthcare Service Transformation (OMMRHST) waiver, hinges upon established financial thresholds. These thresholds dictate the maximum allowable income a person can have to qualify for services.
Maintaining access to essential care and support services for vulnerable populations depends on the income criteria. Understanding the income restrictions ensures that individuals who require and qualify for these services receive them. These income thresholds are subject to change periodically, reflecting adjustments for cost of living and other economic factors. The OMMRHST waiver is designed to improve healthcare delivery and coordination for Medicaid recipients in Texas.
For precise details regarding the income criteria applicable in 2025 for Medicaid programs in Texas that use OMMRHST waivers to aid individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, individuals should consult the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) website or seek assistance from a qualified Medicaid advisor. These resources provide the most up-to-date and accurate information.
