Are regional centers restricted to purchasing services from vendored service providers only? Are there exceptions?

June 14, 2024

Yes. Regional centers are prohibited from referring any consumer to an applicant until the vendor application is approved and the regional center cannot reimburse a vendor for services provided before vendorization. However, if the regional center determines that the health or safety of a consumer is in jeopardy, and no current vendor is available to provide the needed service, the regional center may approve emergency vendorization. (Title 17, CCR, Sections 50612, 54324, 54326(c)(4))
