16 Del. Admin. Code § 25000-25050
The Children's Community Alternative Disability Program (CCADP) is a Delaware Medicaid option that is designed to serve children with significant disabilities. Such children would otherwise qualify to be cared for in an institutional setting. The State desires that this program serve as many children as possible at home or in non-institutional settings as long as it can be done safely, efficiently and economically. The best care for children who would be eligible for this program is with the support and direction of involved parents or guardians. This care will generally result from the active collaboration of DSS, and multidisciplinary providers, and parents or guardians.
In general, any child whose disability profile meets a designated level of care may be eligible for Medicaid without regard to parental income, resources, or other health insurance. Given the State's commitment to promoting children's access to basic health care, any benefit of the doubt concerning program qualification should be resolved in favor of eligibility. To the extent eligibility is jeopardized by safety concerns, DSS will act affirmatively to eliminate or reduce unsafe conditions to an acceptable level through Departmental and community resources. DSS recognizes its responsibility to make a referral to a protective agency if conditions so warrant.
