Medicaid rules state the Support Broker's employer is which of the following?

In Medicaid self-directed supports, the person who needs services and their family control who hires and supervises the supports. The support broker is employed by the participant (or the parent or legal guardian of a minor child) who has a developmental disability and needs active treatment. This arrangement keeps the planning and budgeting centered on the individual’s choices, with the broker acting as a guide and facilitator for building and overseeing the agreed-upon supports. A private company, hospital, or school district would represent an institutional employment model, not the consumer-directed setup described here.
