Consumer-Directed Service Facilitator Services are available
In Virginia, a Service Facilitator (SF) is a Medicaid-enrolled professional who helps individuals and families manage the Consumer-Directed (CD) option for home care. They assist you in acting as the Employer of Record (EOR) to hire, train, and supervise your own personal care, respite, or companion attendants. Consumer-Directed Service Facilitator services are provided as an enrolled Virginia DMAS provider and are available at no cost to eligible individuals under qualifying Medicaid waiver programs (such as CCC Plus and DD Waivers).
Our role as a Service Facilitator
1. Care Plan Development: Write and monitor your personalized consumer-directed plan of care.
2. EOR Training: Train the member or family representative on how to manage payroll, schedule shifts, and act as an employer.
3. Home Visits: Conduct required ongoing visits and reassessments to ensure care is safe and meets Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) rules.
4. Fiscal Agent Liaison: Help you coordinate paperwork with fiscal employer agents like Consumer Direct Care Network Virginia (CDVA) or Public Partnerships (PPL).
The Program Eligibility & Structure
1. Qualifying Waivers: Available through Cardinal Care Managed Care (CCC Plus) and Developmental Disabilities (DD) waivers.
2. The Caregiver: The consumer or a trusted family member (except the paid attendant or a minor) acts as the Employer of Record.
3. Cost: Free of charge to eligible Virginia Medicaid waiver recipients.
