What is a Fiscal Employer Agent?
A Fiscal Employer Agent, also known as a fiscal intermediary relieves
individuals, guardians and caregivers of the tedium of writing vendor and
payroll checks and paying withholdings to state and federal agencies.
What is the difference between a provider agency and Acumen?
A provider agency provides support services. If you use a provider,
they supply caregivers for you and/or your dependent(s). Because the staff work
for the provider agency, the agency is responsible for all the employer
responsibilities - hiring, firing, training, payroll withholding and filing,
which comes at a higher cost. With Acumen, the individual receiving services is
the employer. They recruit, hire, schedule and train their own employees. Not only
can they get more support for the same dollars by being in charge, they are in total
control.
How do I know if I should use a provider agency or Acumen?
Being an employer is not for everyone. You are encouraged to weigh the pros
and cons. There are provider agencies in States that do a good job and could be
considered. But, if you want to employ your own support staff, be in total control
of your support services, do some paperwork, and get more services for your money,
Acumen is your choice.
Can I do Both?
Yes. You have the flexibility to employ all of your supports directly or you
can buy just the pieces you want from an agency. You can mix and match support options as
your needs change. Acumen will be there to help you regardless of what combination you
choose. Acumen Fiscal Employer Agent is the largest and oldest Fiscal Employer Agents in the
nation. We help hundreds of individuals, guardians, and caregivers take charge of the supports
they and/or their dependents receive.
