One important decision that the Service and Support Administration (SSA) team can help you with is choosing a service provider. Your SSA can guide you through the number of options available in Lake County. However, SSAs are not able to suggest one provider over another; you are the ultimate and final decision maker.
Providers help our County Board support individuals who receive Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers in Lake County as well as individuals who receive Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) services. Our Provider Support Department assists Agency, Independent, and ICF Providers to operate within the requirements of Medicaid and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) to promote quality supports for individuals receiving services.
We also offer comprehensive support to people interested in becoming a provider of service to ensure that they are equipped to be successful. In addition, our Provider Support Department stays current on all relevant information, rule, policy and procedure updates to ensure service providers have timely access to the information.
