What Is the TBI Waiver Program?

The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Waiver is a New York State Medicaid program that helps adults with brain injuries receive services in the community instead of in institutional settings. It focuses on rebuilding skills, maximizing independence, and supporting safety at home.

Participants may receive specialized services such as service coordination, independent living skills training, behavioral supports, and home and community support services.
