Thank you for your interest in participating as a provider for the Administrative Services Organization (ASO). The ASO is a program administered by the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County to manage a dedicated pool of flexible funds. Implemented in 2003 to support family directed care, the ASO promotes a wraparound approach in which families identify their strengths, needs, goals and service providers through a family support plan. As a payment of last resort, flexible funds managed by the ASO can be used to provide supports and services with qualified community providers. ASO flexible funds assist a variety of target populations including but not limited to pregnant women, young children, children at risk of social-emotional delays, victims of domestic violence, and families facing homelessness.
Trained case managers from participating agencies work with families to develop individualized family support plans and select from a wide range of services and supports for children and their families. Families can prioritize the most critical services and select a provider of their choosing. Currently, eighty-five (85) different service types are available from a fully credentialed provider network that includes a wide variety of agencies, vendors, individuals, local businesses, and faith-based organizations. There are service-specific credential requirements for many services, as detailed in the ASO Service Code Matrix. The ASO maintains a web-based Provider Search that allows families and case managers to access the provider database, promoting the families’ ability to directly select providers for needed services and supports. The website includes provider contact information, service descriptions and availability, and credential information.
The Children’s Board ASO offers funds management, accounts payable services, detailed financial reporting including reports to enrolled families, provider credentialing, network management, and quality assurance.
