What a purchasing plan is
Under CDC+, the Purchasing Plan describes how monthly budget dollars will be used for services and supplies that support the person-centered plan.
Restricted vs unrestricted (conceptually)
- Restricted services often have extra qualifications or handbook-like limits.
- Unrestricted categories may allow more flexibility within program rules.
- Always use the current service code chart and consultant guidance — not this summary alone.
Monthly habits
- Compare planned vs actual hours
- Reconcile the monthly statement from the F/EA
- Use Quick Update / plan change processes when needs change
- Keep an emergency back-up provider identified
