If you're on a home and community-based waiver or living in a nursing facility, all Medicaid health plans in Virginia cover LTSS to help you live safely in your home or a setting of your choice.
If you're enrolled in a DD waiver, you'll also be enrolled in a Medicaid Health Plan for your non-waiver services. DMAS or a DMAS contractor will continue to pay for your DD waiver services.

📧 Connect with a Service FacilitatorA Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) is a type of Medicare Advantage plan for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. It helps coordinate your benefits under one health insurance company (MCO), often reducing costs and simplifying care.
This alignment is called Exclusively Aligned Enrollment.
Waiver services are Medicaid-only and support daily living.
This dual coordination helps reduce confusion and improve care.
“One path closes, another opens—with care, clarity, and choice.”
If your child is already on Medicaid, you're eligible to be screened for CCC+ Waiver services. No new financial application is needed.

Visit CommonHelp.virginia.gov or call 1-833-522-5582. TDD: 1-888-221-1590.

Once approved, you’ll select a CCC+ Health Plan and begin services like personal care, respite, and assistive technology. A care coordinator will guide your family.
