New Jersey

Program: Personal Preference Program (PPP) and Division of Developmental Disabilities self-directed employee option

PPP has two fiscal intermediaries chosen by the managed care plan: Horizon NJ Health members use Palco; Aetna Better Health of New Jersey, Fidelis Care, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan and Wellpoint members use Public Partnerships LLC (PPL). Separately, DDD moved its self-directed employee model from PPL to Acumen Fiscal Agent, with Acumen service starting December 7, 2025. The DDD change does not affect PPP.
