DBCC administers four Home and Community Based Waivers: The Mental Retardation/Related Disability (MR/RD) Waiver, The Community Support Waiver (CSW), The Head and Spinal Cord Injury (HASCI) Waiver and the Pervasive Developmental Disability (PDD) Waiver. Each waiver is a funding mechanism.  Each allows the purchase of services with Federal revenues (Medicaid) for eligible people. The focus of each waiver is to allow people who require institutional care to remain in their home with added supports.  The cost for Home and Community Based waiver services must be less than the cost for Institutional care. Availability of waiver slots is determined by SCDDSN. Services funded via a waiver must be based on need and cost effectiveness. For more information on Home and Community Based Waivers, please contact your Early Interventionist, Service Coordinator or an FSS Supervisor at 843-805-5800.
