The FMS provider is the only vendored service that is required in the Self-Determination Program. A list of FMS providers is available on the FMS Contact List webpage. Additionally, your regional center can help you locate FMS providers.

When choosing an FMS, you will want to learn about the different kinds of FMS providers that are available. Information about FMS providers’ requirements, tasks, and responsibilities may be found in the Department’s directive at FMS Roles and the FMS model comparison chart. Because it is important to choose an FMS you feel comfortable working with, you may have to interview several. Before deciding which FMS provider to choose, you may want to speak with your service coordinator, your independent facilitator, or another person or agency you trust.
