Support Broker services are about helping the participant design and arrange their supports by planning what they need, budgeting the resources, and negotiating with providers to obtain those services. Idaho code defines Support Brokerage as assistance to the participant in planning, budgeting for their supports, and negotiating those services. This distinguishes brokerage from tasks like coordinating medical care (typically done by care coordinators or case managers), from financial management (a separate service that handles paying providers and managing funds), and from directly supervising staff (not a broker’s duty). So the area covered by Support Broker services is planning, budgeting, and negotiating their services.
