PICS has been a trusted fiscal support entity since 1999, helping individuals across the state of Minnesota manage their self-directed and licensed personal support services. Along the way, we’ve continued improving and modernizing our systems and services – including simplifying our processes to make things easier for participants, managing parties, and community partners including case managers and support planners. 

As a statewide leader in self-directed care, we felt it was time to update and modernize our brand to reflect who we are today.

We’re excited to share that winners have been selected for our Online Portal contest!

Our two grand prize winners received the choice of an iPad Air or a Samsung Chromebook. Three second place winners were also drawn, each receiving a $200 visa gift card.

To be entered into the drawing, Managing Parties must have entered all timesheets on time for three selected time periods during February, March and April.
