"CAP C" provides cost-effective home care for medically fragile children (through age 18) who would otherwise require long-term hospital care or nursing facility care.
"CAP DA" provides a package of services to allow adults (age 18 and older) who qualify for nursing facility care to remain in their private residences.
"CAP MR/DD" consists of two waivers: the Supports Waiver and the Comprehensive Waiver. Both waivers provide community services to individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, or intellectual disabilities/mental retardation who live in their own home or reside with their family.
In addition to the CAP waivers, a special Federal program is available to all North Carolina children with special needs that have a Medicaid card. EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis & Treatment) is the Federal program that is available to children under the age of 21 that have a Medicaid card and require medically necessary services and supports. These medically necessary services and supports include, but are not limited to:
- Personal Care Services
- Home Health Services
- Hospice Care
- Physical Therapy and related services
