The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) is exploring a new concept which would provide for more consumer direction relating to service selection and frequency. This new concept is based on each person having an individualized budget where they prioritize how they spend the money allocated to them; therefore we are calling it iBudget Florida.
APD has been tasked by the Florida Legislature to develop and implement a plan for the new system in which APD customers who are currently using the Medicaid waiver to pay for services would receive an annual budget based on a statistically valid methodology/algorithm. The agency is required to submit this plan for iBudget Florida to the Legislature in February 2010. In the meantime, APD will be holding forums and seeking input on this potential new way of handling and providing benefits.
APD wants to hear your thoughts on the iBudget Florida plan.
This website will contain information about the iBudget Florida plan as it is shaped.
You can sign up to receive emails when new information is posted to the website.
It will also be a way for you to give us your thoughts about the plan,
since you can send us your comments through this website.
You can also come to meetings about the plan
we will be having in different parts of the state.
