DDCS counties and provider information

Before you start

  • Exact approved service, area, amount, schedule, accessibility and communication needs, risks, setting, transportation, staffing needs, and quality questions.

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. Ask the case manager for the provider list for the approved service and area.
  2. Use the applicable official provider or county resource and review current qualifications or oversight information.
  3. Ask each provider about intake, capacity, staffing, safeguards, quality evidence, corrective history, and fit.

Expected next

A documented candidate list, direct provider answers, selected provider, or written access gap.

Save this proof

Candidates, source links and dates, provider responses, questions, contacts, and next steps.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the case manager for more choices, document the access gap, and use complaint or ombuds routes when appropriate.
