The Low-Income Pool (LIP): LIP funds help pay for uncompensated medical care costs for uninsured hospital patients, shortfalls in Medicaid funding, and premium payments for insurance products agreed upon by the State and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. To access the full $1.5 billion LIP allotment, local governments must contribute nearly 40 percent of the funds through county and other local tax dollars that are transferred to the state. Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative (ADI): ADI services will receive an increase of $1,769,733 to serve an additional 151 individuals on the statewide waitlist. ADI provides services to individuals with Alzheimer's disease or other memory disorders and to their families. ADI respite services for families include in-home adult-day-care, emergency and extended care (up to 30 days) services. Also, the ADI provides support services that include: case management, specialized medical equipment and supplies, caregiver counseling and support groups, and caregiver training.
