1915(i) Services
1915(i) services offer Medicaid-funded support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), serious
mental illness (SMI), substance use disorders (SUD), or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These services are designed to help
individuals live independently, participate in their communities, and recover from mental health or substance use challenges.
Our I/DD Services under 1915(i):
Respite Care
Individual Support
Supported Employment
These services are available to people on Behavioral Health and Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Tailored Plans. Some people on NC Medicaid Direct or the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Option may also be eligible.
1915(b)(3) Waiver
This waiver is designed to reduce institutionalization by helping individuals receive care and support in their homes or community settings instead of hospitals or residential facilities. It provides funding for services that help clients build life skills, maintain stability, and live as independently as possible.

Transitional Living Skills
One-Time Transitional Costs
Respite Care
Through this waiver, eligible participants receive personalized care and support services that promote independence, social inclusion, and overall well-being.
