FYI Newsletter February 23, 2009

Thank You!

The Online Medicaid Waiver Survey has been completed, and it is now closed.

We thank you all for the tremendous response! More than 400 individuals with disabilities, parents and family members, providers, case managers, other professionals, and advocates responded to the survey.

We also completed six Medicaid Waiver Conversations, in New Albany, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne, plus three more targeted focus groups of providers, family members, and case managers. In all, we heard from more than 250 people at these face-to-face events.

We are beginning to share this extensive amount of information we received with various stakeholders within FSSA. In April, we will be submitting a more formal report.

In addition, we will soon have some summary information ready for public distribution. Watch our website for our posting of that.

Again, our thanks to all of you who took the time to respond and share your ideas and concerns. We deeply appreciate your commitment to helping make Indiana\'s waivers the best that they can be for people with developmental disabilities and their families.

Sincerely,

David Mank, Ph. D., Director
Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
