The Children’s Multidisciplinary Team or CMAT is the team for individuals 21 and older who still have complex medical needs.

The CMAT will assess the need for long-term services and its primary purpose is to evaluate medical and psychosocial needs to make a medically necessary determination of Medicaid.

The long-term medical care funded by Medicaid CMAT certification are:

• Medical Foster Care (MFC),
  
• Nursing Facility (NF), and
  
• Model Waiver (MW).  
  

CMAT may staff a person with medically fragile or medically complex with a nurse or a health supervisor. Medical documentation must support long-term care.

For more information, you can contact your local CMS office or Department of Children and families or the Agency for Health Care Administration.
