DODD Certification and Registration Verification

Before you start

  • Waiver, exact service, county, schedule, setting, accessibility and communication needs, safeguards, staffing requirements, transportation, and desired start.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or ask DODD to identify the responsible county board, service and support administrator, program office, or notice-specific contact.

Step by step

  1. Give the service and support administrator a written service-and-fit request.
  2. Ask for qualified options and verify certification or Medicaid enrollment in the applicable official tool.
  3. Contact candidates and verify exact service, geography, inquiry status, staffing, safeguards, quality evidence, and fit directly.

Expected next

A provider list, verified status record, referral activity, documented non-fit, or written explanation of the unresolved provider need.

Save this proof

Request, candidates, source and date, certification and enrollment checks, contacts, service, geography, inquiry status, safeguards, and next step.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate through county-board service and support administration if no viable option is identified and ask how the unmet need will be addressed.
