Incorporated the key concepts of the guide into our analysis after having reviewed other states’ programs.
Analyzed information on self-direction programs referred by community disability advocates.

Service Delivery OptionsProvider Managed Self-Direction
Examples: Examples:
Description: Consumer can choose from range of Provider Managed options from traditional agency-based to “hybrid” agency based (described by MDF in other documents).
For the purposes of Medicaid funding, a state must offer a traditional “provider-managed” service delivery option alongside self-direction and ensure there are no service breaks during transition periods. This feature recognizes that not all participants may want to assume the responsibilities that self-direction entails.
Description:Managing Workers aka “employer authority”*•Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA)*•Co-employer / Agency with Choice*•Consultant Broker Services•Other (Fiscal Conduit, Public Authority/Workforce Council)
Individual Budget aka “Budget Authority”*
When a state offers self-direction of HCBS, it generally must allow participants to opt into or out of directing their services.
