Independent Provider Program

The Independent Provider (IP) program is a self-directed pathway for people eligible for Medicaid long-term services and supports (LTSS) who live at home and want more control over who provides their home and community-based services (HCBS) and when, but don’t want to manage a service budget. For more information or to enroll, please contact the LTSS Coverage Line at 401-574-8474 or the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (DHS) at 855-697-4347.
