TEFRA MEDICAL CARE COORDINATION

TEFRA Medicaid Care Coordination

The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) is a Medicaid program designed to help children under 19 years old with costs related to their disabilities. This covers significant medical, developmental or psychiatric needs. Though they may be deemed “disabled” or have high medical costs, not all children qualify for this program.

    • Intermediate Care Facility for Intellectual Developmental Disability (ICF/IDD)
    • Nursing Facility  (skilled and/or intermediate) (NF)
    • Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital (IPH)
