Authority granted by the secretary of Health and Human Services to allow a state to continue receiving federal Medicaid matching funds even though it is no longer in compliance with certain requirements of the Medicaid statute. States can use waivers to implement home and community-based services programs or managed care, and to expand coverage to populations who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid.
