How to ask DDCS for services

Before you start

  • Enrollment PAN, Medicaid result, assessment, PCSP, service request, waiver or CFC information, provider discussions, and all notices.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the assigned DDCS case manager, a DDCS office, the county Service and Information Request line, or the exact contact on the controlling Planned Action Notice. Ask which unit owns the step.

Find an official DDCS office

Step by step

  1. List each favorable, pending, or adverse layer separately.
  2. Use the current five-waiver system and CFC rules; do not substitute the future two-waiver redesign.
  3. Obtain the PAN showing approved amount or denial and its appeal instructions.

Expected next

A reconciled written service state, named owner, PCSP, PAN, provider-selection step, or start event.

Save this proof

Determinations, assessment, PCSP, PAN, program state, authorizations, provider responses, and dates.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the case manager to name the exact open dependency and the next written event.
