 3  for Medicaid waiver providers to submit separate applications
 4  to provide the same product or service for more than one
 5  Medicaid waiver program.  A Medicaid waiver provider
 6  application that is approved by the agency may be considered
 7  if that applicant also applies to become an approved provider
 8  for an additional waiver program, if the product or service is
 9  an allowable expense under that program.
