Promising Practices in HCBS: Alaska - Program Changes based on System Principles
02/02/2005 | Requests *Summary
Alaska changed its Medicaid personal care program based on principles and recommendations from a 75-person Personal Care Summit that involved program participants, personal assistance providers, advocates, and state policy makers. The changes created consumer-directed personal care agencies that train participants to direct their own services and perform fiscal responsibilities for people who employ their own personal assistants through the CDPCP.
