Eligibility & Enrollment Guide

Navigating the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) program can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. At A1 Haven, we help families understand the process and guide them every step of the way.

Who Qualifies for HCS?

HCS is a Texas Medicaid waiver program designed for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities who need ongoing support.

In general, an individual may qualify if they:

Have an intellectual or developmental disability
Meet the Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/IID) level of care
Are eligible for Texas Medicaid
Prefer to receive services in the home or community rather than an institution

Eligibility is determined by the State of Texas, not by the provider.

What Paperwork Is Needed?

While requirements may vary, families typically need:

Proof of Texas Medicaid eligibility
Medical or psychological evaluations confirming the disability
Functional assessments or eligibility determinations
Identification documents
Enrollment forms required by the state or local authority
