ACDS is a Fiscal Intermediary (FI) for individuals who have chosen to Self-Direct their Services.  As a Fiscal Intermediary, we work closely with the individual, family and support broker to implement the ‘behind the scenes’ portion of all services. Services often include Human Resource activities as well as the billing and payment of the services identified and chosen by the individual, such as training the individual, family and staff on billing & documentation responsibilities, completing and monitoring budget expenditures, payroll processing, staff training and reviewing/auditing billing.

ACDS has in-house employees who can serve as Agency Brokers or we can contract with an independent Broker of your choice. We work closely with agency and contracted Brokers to guide the individual and their family through the process and consistently ensure the individual experiences our exceptionally high standard of care. The Support Broker guides the Person-Centered Planning (PCP) process, considering the individual’s goals, needs, and dreams. They help create a habilitation plan and budget with the Circle of Support and provide additional training and support as needed.
