Medicaid is a federal and state-funded health insurance program that helps pay for health care.  It is for low-income people who meet eligibility requirements.  Pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, and people age 65 and older may also qualify. 

Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) is a Medicaid program that provides medical, behavioral, substance use disorder, and long term services and supports all under one program. 

The Commonwealth’s system of services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities is undergoing significant transformation as Virginia redesigns its waiver system under the My Life, My Community initiative.  The term My Life, My Community encompasses an overarching vision whereby people with developmental disabilities live, work, play and thrive in their communities, just as others do, with the support they need. 

Beginning January 1, 2019, more adults in Virginia will have access to quality, low-cost health insurance. Thousands of Virginians aged 19-64 will soon be able to get needed health care.
