MONEY FOLLOWS THE PERSONS
You have a say in where and how you live.
What is the Money Follows the Person (MFP) Program? MFP is a federal demonstration program that supports eligible Medicaid recipients currently living in settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, or other qualified institutions. MFP’s focus is to help individuals transition from inpatient facilities into the community.
Who Is Eligible? To participate in MFP, you must be eligible for Medicaid and currently living in a long-term care center or hospital setting for at least 60 days. At least one of those 60 days must be paid for by Medicaid. Additionally, you should be interested in transitioning back into the community and must be eligible for one of Montana’s waiver programs:
• Big Sky Waiver (elderly and/or physically disabled)
• Severe Disabling Mental Illness Waiver (SDMI)
• Developmental Disability Waiver (DDP)
