Summary:
Part of the Cash & Counseling effort, IndependentChoices is a Medicaid program that allows the consumer to direct their own personal assistant services. Because Arkansas was the first state to have a program like this, their experiences and materials are a good resource for other states looking to implement similar programs. This handbook was created as an introduction for new enrollees. Also see samples of their marketing materials: Brochure, Appointment Card template and Decal.
