Independence Unlimited :: Money Follows the Person

As of September 1, 2008, Independence Unlimited became a proud partner in the Money Follows the Person Program (MFP). Based on the National Real Choice Initiative of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) this statewide program is designed to maximize consumer choice and independence and to increase the use of home and community based services in lieu of the more costly institutional care.

Why home and community based care?
