WASHINGTON – New Hampshire is the top-performing state in offering Medicaid services to people with disabilities, according to a survey done by a national group.

United Cerebral Palsy, based in Washington, D.C., said the state scored highest in various categories such as coverage and eligibility, home and community-based services, reaching those in need, and cost efficiency.

Three other Northeastern states, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont, were ranked second, third and fourth, respectively.

United Cerebral Palsy, along with a nationwide network of affiliates, provides services to people with disabilities such as housing, therapy, family support, community living and employment assistance.
