People with developmental disabilities need to access care and enhance overall wellbeing, and EOC is able to provide through financial, administrative, and community supports to enhance their quality of life and self-sufficiency.
A comprehensive array of services is available for people with developmental disabilities aimed at enhancing their quality of life. EOC of Suffolk, Inc.’s staff will customize a program to help maximize each person’s ability to live with independence and self-sufficiency. Personalized case management helps to ensure that individuals receive the government entitlements and benefits to which they are eligible.
Self-Directed and Fiscal Intermediary Services
Self-Directed (SD) services allow individuals to exercise the maximum amount of control over how they receive supports and services through options they initiate. It promotes personal choice over the delivery of waiver and state plan services, including the choice of providers, the choice of services, whether a waiver is requested, as well as a voice in how the services are provided. Working with employers and funding agencies, people with developmental disabilities can engage as full citizens in communities of their choosing. This means that self-directed Medicaid services participants, or their representatives if applicable, have decision-making authority over certain services and take direct responsibility to manage their services with the assistance of a system of available supports.
Fiscal Intermediary, or FI, is for individuals who have chosen self-direction, and provides administrative and billing support.
