Description

MassAbility is seeking a dynamic individual to fill the role of Waiver Program Coordinator. The selected candidate is responsible for needs assessment, service plan development, service authorization activities, and implementation and monitoring of individualized service plans (ISP) for Acquired Brain Injury Non-Residential waiver (ABI-N) and Money Follows the Person - Community Living Waiver (MFP-CL) enrollees/participants statewide, as well as for MFP Demonstration participants.

Waiver Program Coordinator engage in outreach as assigned to ensure that potential applicants are aware of the waivers and supported in the application process. For each assigned enrollee/participant, the Waiver Program Coordinator coordinates an interdisciplinary team that includes the individual, his/her guardian, if any, relevant waiver service participant waiver service providers, other persons as chosen by the enrollee/participant and other appropriate professionals to develop an Individual Service Plan (ISP) utilizing a person-centered planning process. The planning process will determine what ABI-N and MFP-CL waiver services and supports are needed to support the waiver participant to live safely in the community, which are delineated and authorized in the ISP portion of the Person-Centered Plan (PCP).

At MassAbility, we are driven by a fundamental belief that we are all different but connected – individuals who share a common purpose and who bring our own talents, ingenuity, and perspective to achieve our vision. That belief puts diversity, equity, and inclusion at the center of everything we do. We are keenly aware of the barriers that many of us face as we strive to live life on our own terms. That’s why, as a community, we are committed to always being part of the solution. This work is essential to who we are as an organization. Together, we are making a better state possible for everyone. As a team member, you’ll join an agency that values a learning and participatory performance culture with an emphasis on high-performance teams, individual contribution/impact, and engagement in activities to promote and support programs, divisions, and the overall agency vision and mission.

  • Arrange for referrals and provision of MassHealth Long-Term Supports and Services (LTSS) and other needed services by selected providers; monitor and ensure service delivery, and ensure linkage with community resources, including their medical providers.
  • Conduct outreach in nursing facilities and rehabilitation hospitals as assigned to recruit waiver participants, and to educate and inform the facility staff about the Home and Community Based Waivers, particularly underutilized waivers.
