Overview

Under CDCS, a person can choose traditional goods and services available through the Alternative Care (AC) program and home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers. They also can design services to meet their specific needs. The goods and services approved in the person’s CDCS community support plan must be categorized into one of the following CDCS service categories:

  • · Personal assistance.
  • · Community integration and support.
  • · Treatment and training.
  • · Individual-directed goods and services.
  • · Environmental modifications – home modifications.
  • · Environmental modifications – vehicle modifications.
  • · Financial management services (FMS).
  • · CDCS support planning services.
  • Purpose and use

    Service categories allow the FMS provider to separate and appropriately bill for the approved goods and services.

    The lead agency only uses service categories in the person’s CDCS community support plan. The lead agency does not authorize service categories on service agreements.
