FMS Services

Where our services apply

Social recreation, camp, and non-medical therapies

Community programs open to everyone, not only to people receiving regional center services. Parks and recreation classes, the YMCA, dance studios, sports leagues, summer camps, music and art programs.

We pay the program directly on your behalf. If a program will not bill an FMS, we can reimburse you instead.

The Self-Determination Program

For people using an individual budget to build their own mix of supports. We manage the budget, pay the people and providers you hire, and keep every transaction traceable back to your spending plan.

You keep the decisions. We keep the books.

What we handle

●   Checking that a provider qualifies before any money moves

●   Reviewing invoices against your authorization and your plan

●   Paying providers, or reimbursing you, within ten business days of complete documentation

●   Keeping auditable records of every transaction

●   Sending monthly statements to you and your service coordinator

●   Watching your budget and warning you before it runs short

For service coordinators

Poppy FMS operates under the vendor and payment processing model of Financial Management Services, and follows the applicable Title 17 requirements, DDS guidance, and regional center authorization process. Provider eligibility is verified before payment, coordination activity is documented separately, and expenditure reporting is available monthly.
