Average Cost for Services
Summit DD Service and Support Administrator’s, or SSAs, coordinate services using a person-centered approach and work with each person to develop an individual budget for services that meet their needs and fit their budget. 85% of adults supported by Summit DD are funded through a Federal Medicaid Waiver. In these cases Medicaid pays approximately 60% of the costs for services and Summit DD (through local levy dollars) pays 40% of the costs for services. If an individual does not qualify for Medicaid, services are paid for using local levy dollars.
Medicaid dollars ensure Free Choice of Provider, meaning individuals choose a willing provider who meets their needs. Summit DD SSAs are there to connect individuals to the support they need to live a healthy, satisfying life.
