Increase of Financial Management Services reimbursement rates for Participant-Directed Services Traditionally, San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) individuals have been able to access services through providers who are vendored th rough SDRC. With Participant-Dir ected Services (PDS), individuals have more flexibility and control over how, when, and by whom some services are provided to them. Services that are included within PDS are: respite, day care, non-medical transportation, nursing, community-based training services, personal assistance, independent living skills, and supported employment services. In order for individuals to access PDS, they must work with a Financial Management Services (FMS) agency that assists with the management and funding of these services. In order for regional center individuals to participate in PDS, SDRC must have FMS agencies who are willing to be vendorized to provide them. Currently vendored FMS agencies have indicated that the Department of Developmental Services (DDS)-set rates for FMS PDS are insufficient for them to take on this additional responsibility. Because PDS is a needed and desired service-delivery model, SDRC is seeking increased FMS/PDS rates in order to expand the capacity of FMS agencies and service providers to support and offer PDS.
