Medically Fragile Waiver Program:
The Medically Fragile Waiver Program helps New Mexicans with developmental disabilities and a medically fragile condition live in their homes. It is a Medicaid Waiver program that provides the same services that would be given in an institution. Services can be received from only one Medicaid Waiver Program at a time, even if the individual qualifies for more than one Waiver. For more information, call the Medically Fragile Program at 1-877-696-1472.

Services Available Through the Medically Fragile Program:
Services include: Case Management (by Registered Nurses only), Private Duty Nursing (RN & LPN), Home Health Aide, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychosocial Counseling, Nutritional Counseling and Respite. Learn more about the Medically Fragile Waiver.
