SESSION 7: 3.50-5:00pm
Room LK208
Financial Management Services in the New Self-Determination Program
Victor Lira, Premier Healthcare Services
About this session:
Many families are confused or outright scared about the financial aspect of accessing the new Self Determination Program through the their Regional Center. This presentation will demystify and present FMS services in a straightforward non-threatening way while answering some common questions along the way such as:
- Why do I need an FMS?
- What does the FMS do?
- Why do I have to pay for the FMS out of my budget?
- How much does an FMS cost?
- How does the budget work?
- What if I've never been an employer before?
- How will the FMS support me?
Financial fear should not hold back those people being served or their families from directing their own services.
