Getting Started with Participant Directed Services (PDS) on the SCL Waiver

To begin the referral process, we need the following:

  1. Referral sheet completed by a case manager
  2. Consent forms for A Brighter Choice completed by the participant or guardian (the agency that we collaborate with to bill for our services requires all teams to review and sign this)
  3. Participant education form completed by the participant or guardian (this is another form required by the billing agency)

These completed documents should be sent to Grace Jeter, Executive Director, at [email protected] or faxed to our office at 859-239-9087. After we receive these, we will reach out to you and confirm if our Community Guides have spots available on their caseload.

Next Steps

The case manager should also collect the following updated documents for the participant to officially complete the referral process:

  1. Updated POC and PA with CG services and POC Agreement/Sign in Sheet
  2. Crisis Plan
  3. Individual Narrative
  4. LOC Letter
  5. Life Story
  6. MAP 116
  7. Participant Summary Sheet
  8. Participant Rights
  9. Most recent SIS
  10. Current physical and dental exams
  11. Psychological Evaluation
  12. Current Behavior Support Plan and BIC (if applicable)

These documents should be sent via one of the methods described in the first section.
