Adding Value to Self-Direction Professionals

Current Member or Interested in PHP Self-Direction?

Our Program

Partners Health Plan (PHP) has created the PHP Self-Direction (SD) Professional Support Network (PHP-SDSN) as a reflection of commitment to, and belief in, the power and value of self-direction to allow individuals with IDD to have the control and authority over their lives.

Joining the PHP-SDNS provides Self-Direction Professionals (Brokers and Fiscal Intermediaries) a unique package of enhanced benefits for their clients and client prospects and in-network rates that reflect the value of the services you provide to PHP members.

Why Join

In addition to the comprehensive care management and IDD-tailored health, dental, vision and hearing benefits already offered to PHP Members, Self-Direction Professionals who join the PHP-SDSN can offer clients who are PHP Members:

Budget Approval

Almost immediate approval of Medicaid budget components and authorization of services

Program Changes

Guaranteed five (5)-day turnaround on budget neutral program changes.

Transportation

Transportation benefits outside of self-direction budget enabling travel to emergent, non-emergent and social events

Monthly Cash Allocation

A monthly cash allocation (via special debit card) for over-the-counter (OTC) health-related purchases (and, in 2004 OTC card use will be extended to utility bill reimbursement).

Rapid Authorization

Rapid authorization of IDD services including but not limited to day hab, comm hab, respite, SEMP and IDGS
