CDC+ consumers exchange their current home and community based long-term care Medicaid services for a monthly budget. Consumers are allowed to “cash out” services on their current care and support plans and receive a monthly budget to pay for services and supports they choose. The consumers’ budgets are equivalent to the value of services they received in the Medicaid home and community-based services waiver program.
