Self-direction is one of two service models for service delivery offered to participants of DDA waiver services. According to the DDA, “Self-direction, sometimes called consumer-direction or participant-direction, provides participants a greater degree of choice in how Medicaid waiver services are delivered, when, where, and the rate of payment. The core functions of self-direction are choice and control over how services are provided, and who is being paid to provide these services.”
