Who Really Controls Your Child’s Care? CDC+ & Medically Fragile Children’s Florida Medicaid Waiver

In this episode of the No Limits Podcast, Laura continues the Florida Medicaid Waiver series by breaking down the Consumer Directed Care Plus (CDC+) and the Medically Fragile Children’s (MFC) Waiver. CDC+ gives families something many don’t realize is possible: control. Instead of agencies deciding schedules, staffing, and services, parents become the decision-makers, building care around their child’s real life, not provider availability. Laura explains: What CDC+ is and who qualifies How families can hire, schedule, and manage their own care teams Why CDC+ does not increase funding, but radically changes who controls it The legal foundations of Medicaid, including medical necessity and federal protections for children under 21 The difference between developmental disability waivers and the Medically Fragile Children’s Waiver Who the MFC waiver is designed for and why it exists for the most medically complex children This episode is for families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to navigate Florida’s Medicaid system, and for parents who need to know this truth: You are not asking for too much. You are protecting your child’s future. 👉 Subscribe to the No Limits Podcast for continued guidance on navigating systems, advocating effectively, and building real-life outcomes for children with disabilities.
