What is LTSS?
- Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) are a type of health care that helps people who have disabilities or chronic illnesses with their daily activities.
- It is an additional benefit provided by Health First Colorado (Medicaid) that can be provided in different places, such as in a person’s home, in a community center, or a nursing home.
- LTSS might be called different things, like:
- Long-Term Care (LTC)
- Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)
- Waiver Services
- To qualify, people have to meet certain financial and medical requirements.
- LTSS can cover different kinds of services, such as personal care, nursing care, home modifications, and transportation.
What is HCBS?
- Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) are offered through waivers that provide services and benefits to help people with specific health conditions live more independently in the community.
- HCBS waivers allow states to waive certain requirements of the Medicaid program, such as the need to receive care in a nursing home or hospital.
- HCBS waivers allow states to offer a variety of services and supports to help people remain in their homes and communities and still receive the same care they would typically receive in a nursing home or hospital.
- HCBS waivers are designed to meet the needs of people with specific conditions, diagnoses or disabilities.
- Each state can choose which HCBS waivers to offer in their state and those waivers can have different eligibility criteria, benefits, and program rules.

Tips for Printing Booklet Versions:
- Designed to print on both sides of an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of paper, then folded in half
- Print at 100% or Actual Size (or the printer might scale the print down automatically)
- Print with "Landscape" orientation
- Print on both sides of the paper and choose "flip on short edges" (the default is usually "flip on long edges" which would result in the inside being upside down)
- Print to the edge of the paper, if you have the option, this will improve the look of the images on the front and back cover
- Use 24-pound stock or thicker to make sure the ink on one side is not visible through the paper
