DPHHS is applying for a Money Follows the Person Grant. The "Money Follows the Person" Rebalancing Demonstration Program (MFP) helps States rebalance their long-term care systems to transition people with Medicaid from institutions to the community. Forty-three States and the District of Columbia have implemented MFP Programs. From spring 2008 through December 2010, nearly 12,000 people have transitioned back into the community through MFP Programs. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 strengthens and expands the "Money Follows the Person" Program to more States. Click here to fill out the survey. MFP Program Goals Increase the use of home and community-based services (HCBS) and reduce the use of institutionally-based services. Eliminate barriers in State law, State Medicaid plans, and State budgets that restrict the use of Medicaid funds to let people get long-term care in the settings of their choice. Strengthen the ability of Medicaid programs to provide HCBS to people who choose to transition out of institutions. Put procedures in place to provide quality assurance and improvement of HCBS. If you are a consumer or family member, please take a moment to fill out the survey here.
