Find a BHDD-OIDD service provider

Before you start

  • Exact authorized service, county, setting, schedule, accessibility and communication needs, health and behavior supports, risks, transportation, staffing, backup needs, and quality questions.

Who to contact

Start with the official BHDD-OIDD intake line or the assigned intake, autism eligibility, or case-management contact. Use the complete notice for reconsideration or appeal and the setting-specific protective-report route for abuse.

Request OIDD eligibility

Step by step

  1. Use the official directory for the exact service and county and ask the case manager for additional candidates.
  2. Confirm the applicable qualification and oversight evidence.
  3. Ask each provider about intake, capacity, staffing, safeguards, experience, corrective history, backup coverage, and individual fit.

Expected next

A documented candidate list, direct responses, selected provider, intake event, or written access gap.

Save this proof

Candidates, source links and dates, direct responses, qualification evidence, referrals, intake records, and dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask case management for more choices and use the complaint route for unresolved access or service concerns.
