The independent source for health policy research, polling, and news.
Since 2001, KFF has administered regular surveys of states about their Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) programs. The survey is sent to officials administering Medicaid HCBS programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey is sent to each state official responsible for overseeing the administration of HCBS programs (including home health, personal care, and waiver services).
Before 2015, KFF and researchers at University of California San Francisco conducted the survey. Starting in 2016, KFF and Watts Health Policy Consulting have conducted the annual survey. Not all years’ surveys are available because the survey was not administered in some years and in other years, KFF replaced earlier reports with the most recent data.
Surveys are organized by the year in which they were administered, which may not match the date of publication or the year of data reported. Some reports include data from more than one year. Reports for some prior years are no longer on our website but may be requested via KFF’s Contact Us form. KFF also conducts a survey of Medicaid eligibility based on disability or age 65+ (non-MAGI eligibility).
