Does anyone know what this means for those of us currently

receiving PCA through the waiver or FSL?  Can these hours now be paid by Medicaid

and we can use the waiver/FSL money for a different service?..

Announcement

from the

Florida

Developmental Disabilities Council

On July 1, 2008, the Florida Legislature

required children receiving personal care services through the

Developmental Disabilities Home and Community-Based Services Waiver to

receive these services under the Medicaid State Plan. To ensure that

individuals continue to receive the necessary personal care services,

Medicaid has extended provider enrollment to allow unlicensed providers

to furnish personal care services through the Medicaid State Plan. The

deadline for provider enrollment applications to Medicaid to provide this

service is March 1, 2010. Local Medicaid area offices and the local APD

area offices are working together to ensure all current waiver providers

of personal care services have an opportunity to enroll as Medicaid State

Plan providers.

AHCA In order for agencies and groups to receive

reimbursement for services, employees must become enrolled in the

Medicaid program as an individual personal care provider, with their

individual Medicaid identification number linked to the group's Medicaid

provider number on the application.

Your local Medicaid area office is available

to assist you with the enrollment process. Contact your local Medicaid

area office for help with the enrollment process to ensure your

application package is complete prior to submission. Incomplete

application packages will be sent back to the applicant requesting

additional documentation, prolonging the enrollment process. Visit http://ahca.myflorida.com/Medicaid/Areas/index.shtml to obtain contact information for Medicaid area

offices throughout Florida.

Hi ,

What it means for the providers (agencies etc) is more paperwork/audit etc. Medicaid is now paying for the pca, respite & medical services. They are just putting it under one blanket instead of 2 entities. So, whatever you're funded for whether it be consumer directed care or under a support specialist it comes out of the same pot. You should have been receiving a monthly statement (although mine was for months long gone) with who was paid what. Hope this helps.
