People are happiest when they have control over their care.
Self-direction is at the heart of all the services we provide.
From Medicaid waiver programs to state-specific services, we are a solutions-oriented partner for states and health plans to provide the most efficient self-directed program options for home and community-based services.
Our members and caregivers have taught us that every service and support we offer directly impacts a life.
Our job is to empower clients to have choice and control over their services and supports.
State Health Plans and Managed Care Organizations

For over three decades and across the country, Consumer Direct Care Network has provided Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). Our focus is finding solutions for our Managed Care Organization and state partners to better help people get the care they need.
Whether you are looking for Agency with Choice (AWC), Fiscal Employer Agent (F/EA), or Support Broker Services (SBS), Consumer Direct Care Network is here to build the right program for you and your members.
We are here to support your members no matter where they are in the self-direction journey.
Agency with Choice (AWC)/Co-Employment Services
- Your member is the Managing Employer, meaning they recruit, hire, train, and schedule their own caregivers.
- We are the Employer of Record and manage all administrative and payroll-related tasks.
Fiscal Employer Agent (F/EA)
Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA) provides your member the most control over their in-home care.
- Your member is both the Managing Employer and the Employer of Record for their caregivers. Meaning they recruit, hire, train, and schedule their own caregivers, in addition to being the Employer of Record.
- We act as the Fiscal/Employer Agent and take care of the payroll and administrative functions for them.
As the Fiscal/Employer Agent, we make sure workers are paid on time and employment taxes are withheld correctly. Additionally, to fully protect your member from financial risk, we take on full liability for each member-employer’s tax responsibilities related to a self-direction program.
Support Broker Services (SBS)
Support Broker Services assist your members with questions and help them achieve success with their self-directed goals. Our job is to take away the stress and worry.
