Many Texas Medicaid programs allow individuals and families to choose Consumer Directed Services (CDS) as their service delivery option. Consumer Directed Services in Texas gives participants more control over their care by allowing them to hire, train and manage their own caregivers.
Programs that allow Consumer Directed Services include:
- Home and Community-based Services (HCS)
- Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS)
- Texas Home Living (TxHmL)
- Primary Home Care (PHC)
- Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD)
- Medically Dependent Children Program (MDCP)
- STAR Kids
- STAR Health
- STAR + PLUS
Consumer Directed Services can be a great option for individuals who want more flexibility and involvement in their car. If you are interested in learning more about Consumer directed Services in Texas, contact your Service Coordinator to discuss whether CDS is available through your program.
