Paid under both Medicaid programs and mixed funding sources, AAADSW sub-contracts with local providers to deliver a range of services to older adults, family caregivers and adults with disabilities.
Common Questions
DSHS determines Medicaid service rates, which are posted here. Other non-Medicaid rates are negotiated at the time of contracting.
Eligible clients may choose to receive services from any qualified and contracted provider of a particular service. Case managers will make a referral to the provider to start service, and create a payment authorization via the state's ProviderOne System. Providers do not determine eligibility for services, but respond to referrals.
