Free Florida Medicaid Waiver Checklist — iBudget, CDC+ & Model Waiver

Everything you need to apply for a Florida Medicaid waiver: eligibility requirements for all 3 waivers, documents to gather, the APD application timeline, and the 6 mistakes that delay approval. Built by parents who've navigated the system.

What's inside

  • iBudget — eligibility, services covered, how the budget allocation works
  • CDC+ — self-directed care, who can hire family members, how to enroll
  • Model Waiver — for children needing nursing-level care at home
  • Proof of Florida residency and Medicaid enrollment
  • Qualifying diagnosis documentation from a licensed provider
  • IEP, therapy evaluations, and medical records checklist
  • How to contact your APD regional office + what to say
  • What happens at the eligibility screening appointment
  • What "waitlisted" means vs. enrolled — and what to do next
  • How to request expedited review if your child is in crisis
  • Waiting until crisis to apply (the waitlist doesn't care about urgency)
  • Missing Medicaid redetermination (losing coverage = starting over)
  • Not following up — what to do every 90 days after applying
