Dental Grant
The Dental Grant Program seeks to increase access to dental services that are not reimbursable through Medicaid or are above the benefit limitation allowed through Medicaid for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The Dental Program seeks to meet the oral health care needs of individuals with I/DD. Recognizing that many individuals living with I/DD qualify for Illinois Medicaid Dental Program, this DDD Dental Grant Program will cover only those services that exceed the benefit limitations or services not covered under Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance plans.
Epilepsy Program
The Epilepsy Program provides individuals with epilepsy and their families a broad range of linkage, coordination, education, advocacy, and supportive services. The Epilepsy Program is meant to provide these services to individuals with epilepsy and their families who are not receiving other Home and Community Based Waiver funded services through any waivers operated by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), Department on Aging (IDoA), Division of Rehabilitation Services (IDHS/DRS), Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC), or any other State Agency.
