HCBA Waiver

What Is the HCBA Waiver?

The Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver is a Medicaid-funded program in California that allows individuals with complex medical needs to receive long-term care services at home or in their community instead of being placed in a nursing facility or hospital.
This program supports independence, dignity, and quality of life while ensuring access to the professional care and resources you need.

Who Is Eligible?

You may qualify for the HCBA Waiver if you:

• Require the level of care typically provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility
• Prefer to receive care in your home or community rather than in an institution
• Meet Medi-Cal’s financial and medical eligibility requirements
• Agree to a personalized care plan
