Financial management that puts people first.

Poppy FMS helps people with developmental disabilities and their families direct their own services. We handle the paperwork, payments, and recordkeeping so that choice, dignity, and independence can flourish.

What we do

01

FMS for participant-directed services

You choose the camp, the class, the dance studio, the support worker. We pay the provider directly, keep the records, and send you a clear statement every month. We serve both social recreation and the Self-Determination Program.

02

Housing subsidy support

We manage rent payments, coordinate subsidies when a person's own income falls short, and can hold a master lease to open up housing that would otherwise be out of reach. The goal is a stable, safe, long-term home.

How it works

STEP ONE

Your regional center refers you

Your service coordinator sends us an authorization based on your plan. You can also ask for Poppy FMS by name.

STEP TWO

We meet and get you set up

We walk through your budget, the providers you want to use, and how you would like to hear from us. By phone, video, or in person.

STEP THREE

You choose, we pay

Send us the invoice or receipt. Payments and reimbursements go out within ten business days of complete paperwork.

STEP FOUR

You always know where you stand

Monthly statements go to you and your service coordinator, and we tell you before your budget runs low.

Why families choose Poppy

Nothing hidden

You can see your budget, what has been spent, and what is left, any time you ask.

A real person answers

You reach the same small team that knows your case, not a queue.

Built for access

Materials and conversations are easily accessible and understandable.

Frequently asked questions

Does using an FMS mean I lose control of my services?

No. You choose your providers and direct your services. We handle the money and the recordkeeping.

What if my provider will not work with an FMS?

If you paid out of pocket, we can reimburse you once your regional center approves it and we have your receipt and proof of payment.
