KDR - Participant Directed Services (PDS)

Description: Participant Directed Services (PDS) allows people eligible for Medicaid waiver services to choose their own providers for nonmedical waiver services. Provider choice gives members greater flexibility in the delivery of services received. Kentucky Medicaid members may participate in PDS if they currently receive or are eligible for services through the Home and Community Based Waiver (HCB), Supports for Community Living Waiver (SCL), the Acquired Brain Injury Acute Waiver (ABI-A), the Long-Term Care Brain Injury Waiver (ABI LTC) or the Michelle P Waiver (MP).
