North Carolina's Innovations Waiver supports eligible people with I/DD in homes and communities. Behavioral Health and I/DD Tailored Plans coordinate many Medicaid behavioral-health and I/DD services.
Important: NC Medicaid explicitly encourages people who may need Innovations services to apply early and secure a waitlist position. Do not wait until the need becomes a crisis.
