Apply to Become a Support Coordination Agency
To become a DDD/Medicaid-approved Support Coordination Agency, an agency must apply to become a provider by completing the Combined Application to Become a Medicaid/DDD Approved Provider.
Prior to submitting the application, agencies interested in providing DDD-funded Support Coordination services must do the following:
- Review the Division's revised Conflict-Free Policy (Revised 1/2022)
- Submit an Agency Letter of Interest and an Agency Conflict-Free Policy (both on agency letterhead) to the Provider Helpdesk: DDD.ProviderHelpdesk@dhs.nj.gov
iRecord Access
Support Coordination Agencies approved to provide Support Coordination services can request access to the iRecord. For the initial request for iRecord access, the Support Coordination Supervisor must complete the iRecord Request Form, scan it, and email it to DDD.ITREQUESTS@dhs.state.nj.us. A username and temporary password will be sent to the Support Coordination Supervisor, including instructions on re-setting the initial temporary password.
After the initial account is set up, the Support Coordination Supervisor can log into the iRecord and request additional users.
