Services for Individuals Age 65 or Older in an Institution for Mental Diseases
This service is often referred to as “IMD over 65”. It is an option that most states have chosen to offer in their Medicaid program. Services may be provided either in a hospital or in a nursing facility that is considered an institution for mental diseases (IMD), meaning that the facility meets the federal and state requirements of a hospital or nursing facility, but is also considered an IMD.
