OCL introduces the recently renamed and updated Complementary and Integrative Health Waiver (CIH) Webpage.
About the CIH Waiver
Effective July 1, 2022, all services on the CIH waiver (formerly the Spinal Cord Injury waiver) are available statewide and to persons living with a spinal cord injury (traumatic or nontraumatic), multiple sclerosis, brain injury, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, or cerebral palsy with the inability for independent ambulation over the age of 18.

About this Webpage
On this page, stakeholders can:

  • View the Complementary and Integrative Health Services Guide

  • View the full text of the waiver

  • Learn who qualifies for the waiver

  • Learn how to apply for the waiver

We hope you'll bookmark the page and share this resource with your organizations and networks.
