About The Waiver Academy
Empowering healthcare providers to deliver better care through better training
The Waiver Academy is the training and compliance division of The Waiver Consulting Group LLC — a national healthcare compliance consulting firm serving HCBS Medicaid waiver providers across all 50 states since 2018.
Our Mission
We believe every person receiving home and community-based services deserves staff who are thoroughly trained, fully compliant, and genuinely confident in their ability to provide quality care.
The Waiver Academy was built to make that possible — not through generic courseware, but through purpose-built training that reflects the real regulatory requirements, care settings, and challenges that HCBS providers face every day.
Our platform combines the deep Medicaid waiver expertise of The Waiver Consulting Group with modern learning technology — creating the only compliance training solution designed exclusively for the HCBS sector.

What drives us
Person-Centered
Everything we build starts with the people receiving care. Better-trained staff means better lives for the individuals and families they serve.
Compliance-First
We don't treat compliance as a checkbox. We build it into every course, every workflow, and every report — because audit-readiness should be automatic.
Relentless Quality
From our course content to our customer support, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Every interaction with The Waiver Academy should feel exceptional.
