The individual, or their family, select, retain, and manage their care providers, and to an extent, they manage payment to their providers, usually within an agreed upon, pre-determined budget. In some states, Financial Management Services assist consumer directed participants with their role as the employer, such as processing payments and withholding taxes.</p>
