Medicaid Waiver Institutional Deeming (ID) is a process to obtain full scope unrestricted Medi-Cal without a share of cost for developmentally disabled consumers under age 18. Through Institutional Deeming the consumer's family income and resources are not taken into consideration; the consumer is assessed on their own merit. However, if the consumer has income and/or resources of their own (i.e., court appointed child support, trust fund income, etc.) this may result in ineligibility. When approved for Medi-Cal via Institutional Deeming our consumers will have access to all Medi-Cal services including medical, dental and Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) supplemental services.
