Services with PICS
PICS (Partners in Community Supports) is a Financial Management Service (FMS) and licensed service provider that offers financial and technical support for individuals and families who self-direct care. When a person self-directs, they decide how, when and from whom their services and supports will be delivered, while maintaining independence in their own homes and communities.
We have been helping people manage the financial aspect of self-directed care for more than 20 years. We currently offer services to individuals and families statewide.

Managing Services with PICS
We make it easy for you through PICS Financial Management Services (FMS). Representatives have access to PICS’ online portal. The online portal is available 24/7 to submit timecards, expenses and mileage, and view spending summaries.
