Funding is intended to support the planning and development of: 1. An in-state Medicaid program CB-LTSS (as an alternative to institutional care) tailored for AI/AN who are presently receiving services in an institution 2. A service delivery structure that includes a set of administrative functions delegated by the state Medicaid agency to tribes or tribal organizationst, such as enabling tribes to design an effective program or package of Medicaid community-based LTSS, and operating day-to-day functions pertaining to the LTSS programs. The TI may be used to cover costs necessary to plan and implement activities consistent with the objectives of this funding and within Federal grant regulations. The funds are subject to all the terms and conditions of the MFP program.
