Mission

Our mission is to make financial management in the Self-Determination Program easy and supportive. We walk beside participants and families with true care, trust and respect, making the process feel simple. Through clear, person-centered services, we help people confidently direct their own lives.

Mission Driven Purpose

TrueCare FMS is committed to providing financial management services that allow participants in the SDP to self-direct their services with a FMS that is safe, knowledgeable and financially sound.

Customer Service Standards Policy

At TrueCare FMS, we believe that participants deserve accessible, respectful, and responsive customer service that reflects their communication needs, language preferences, and decision-making authority. Our customer service approach is grounded in the values of self-determination, inclusion, and equity — and is designed to ensure that every person has the information and support they need to confidently direct their services and live their vision for a good life.

We commit to creating clear, compassionate, and culturally responsive communication channels that support trust, transparency, and timely assistance for participants and their chosen representatives.

Customer Service Standards

TrueCare FMS will maintain and monitor customer service standards that ensure Self-Determination Program participants and their representatives receive timely, accessible, and person-centered communication. Customer service practices will reflect each participant’s preferred language, communication method, and level of support. TrueCare FMS will clearly define and share hours of operation, expected response times, and the methods by which participants can contact the FMS.

Participant Onboarding Policies

TrueCare FMS’s onboarding process offers an equitable, accessible and inclusive way for individuals to access the self-determination program in a timely and person-centered manner.

Participant Training and Support Policy

At TrueCare FMS, we honor the dignity, authority, and leadership of every participant in the Self-Determination Program. As individuals take on the role of managing employer, we are committed to walking alongside them — offering clear, supportive, and culturally responsive training and resources that empower them to understand their rights and responsibilities.

Establishing Participant Employer Policies

TrueCare FMS offers choice in SDP models that allow SDP Participants and their circle of support to make informed decisions about their level of responsibility in employing staff of their choosing.

Establishing Employees Policies

At TrueCare FMS, we support participants in leading their own services by facilitating the hiring and employment of eligible workers chosen by the participant or their authorized representative.

Establishing Providers Policies

At TrueCare FMS, we honor the right of every Self-Determination Program participant to choose their own providers and shape their own services. We are committed to making the process of establishing vendors—whether independent contractors, small businesses, or community-based providers—transparent, accessible, and responsive to the needs of each participant. Our onboarding and monitoring processes ensure providers meet legal, ethical, and program requirements while keeping the participant’s goals and voice at the center.

Payment and Payroll Policies

At TrueCare FMS, we support Self-Determination Program participants as managing employers, empowering them to schedule staff, approve hours, and follow employment laws with confidence. Our role is to provide clear guidance, tools, and ongoing support to help participants manage their services in a way that is person-centered, lawful, and aligned with their goals and routines. Today TrueCare operates as a Bill Payer: your providers invoice us as independent businesses and we pay them, so there is no payroll to run. Under the Co-Employer and Sole Employer models — which are coming soon — we will be committed to processing payroll accurately and on time.

Payment For Services Policies

At TrueCare FMS, we believe that participants are the leaders of their own lives. Our responsibility is to ensure that the financial processes supporting their choices—whether for goods, services, or supports—are transparent, responsive, and person-centered. We partner with participants and their planning teams to ensure that all purchases align with their vision, goals, and approved spending plans, while meeting all program and regulatory requirements.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

TrueCare FMS is committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, accuracy, and participant-centered accountability. Our quality assurance and compliance practices are designed to ensure that participant budgets are managed responsibly, services are delivered in line with SDP values, and changes in laws or policies are reflected swiftly and clearly in our operations.
