The bill also requires coordinators to educate recipients on all available service models, including self-directed services, traditional services, and provider-managed services, to help them make informed choices.
The bill specifies the services and manner of delivering services that the Administration must provide to recipients of self-directed services, such as individual-directed and family-directed goods and services, access to their plan of service and budgets, support broker services, options for family members to provide services, and reimbursement for transportation.
