    • Overview

    Personal care assistance (PCA) services provide assistance and support for persons with disabilities, living independently in the community. This includes the elderly and others with special health care needs. PCA services are provided in the Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) member’s home or in the community when normal life activities take him or her outside the home.

    Assessment for PCA Services

    PCA services are participant-centered. Members must have an assessment for PCA services by an assessor through a lead agency (a county, tribal government or managed care organization). During the assessment, the assessor determines if:

  • • The member is able to direct his or her own care, or needs a responsible party (RP) to act on their behalf
  • • A need for PCA services exists; or if PCA services are the appropriate service to meet the member’s assessed needs

    • If PCA services are assessed to be appropriate, most MHCP members have flexible use of their PCA services, allowing them to use the assessed services how and when they want within a six-month period. The member or RP also chooses whether they want to receive either or both of the following:

    Maine
  • • The PCA Choice option, which allows the member to decide which direct care staff will provide the services
  • • The shared service option for PCA services, which allows the member to receive services from the same individual PCA, at the same time and in the same setting as another member receiving PCA services

    • Members or RPs must also select the MHCP-enrolled PCA provider agency they want to provide their PCA services. When the member selects the PCA Choice option, the member must select an agency enrolled specifically to provide PCA Choice services.

    Supervision for PCA Services

    All members receiving PCA services are required to have qualified professional (QP) supervision services. The QP works for the PCA agency to provide oversight and evaluation of the individual personal care assistance service delivery, to ensure the member’s PCA service needs are met following the QP services policy.

    The PCA agency is responsible for ensuring the QP:

  • • Meets the requirements in the QP criteria
  • • Develops the member care plan
  • • Completes the minimum required QP visits

    • If a member needs more than 96 units of QP services before a services authorization ends, the PCA agency may request additional units according to the QP supervision units increase policy.

    Eligible Providers

    MHCP enrolls and reimburses the following types of provider agencies to provide PCA services:

  • • Medicare-certified, comprehensive homecare licensed home health agency
  • • Personal care provider organizations (PCPOs)
  • • PCA Choice agencies

    • MHCP does not pay individual PCAs directly. MHCP does not require a PCPO or PCA Choice agency to have a license or certification to provide PCA services. However, PCA agencies with licenses or certifications must comply with the requirements of both the MHCP PCA program and whatever licenses or certifications they hold.

    All agencies choosing to provide PCA services must meet MHCP PCA agency enrollment requirements described in more detail in the next section.

    PCA Agency Enrollment

    Agencies must do the following to enroll or maintain enrollment with MHCP to provide PCA services:

  • • Follow the PCA Provider Agency Enrollment Checklist
  • • Follow annual review requirements
  • • Follow ongoing reporting requirements to report agency changes
  • • Maintain the appropriate service credentials to provide PCA services
  • • Follow PCA program requirements including, but not limited to:
  • • Provider enrollment requirements
  • • Provider marketing PCA services
  • • Provider owned or controlled housing
  • • Provider policies and procedures
  • • Provider time and activity documentation
  • • Provider training requirements
  • • Provider wage and benefit requirements

    • Verifying Credentials for Qualified Professionals (QPs)
    The QP works for and is reimbursed by the PCA provider agency. MHCP does not enroll the QP as an individual provider to identify on claims. PCA provider agencies are responsible for verifying the credentials of the QP (see Legal References) and keeping verification of those credentials in their agency files. Prior to having the QP provide services, the PCA agency must:

  • • Ensure the QP is not on the Office of Inspector General (OIG) exclusion list
  • • Initiate and receive confirmation that the QP has passed a background study or has a set aside from DHS Licensing
  • • Have the QP complete and submit the Qualified Professional (QP) Acknowledgment (DHS-4022C) (PDF) form to MHCP Provider Enrollment
  • • Meet provider training requirements

    • Enrolling Individual PCAs
    MHCP is the official registrar for enrolling and affiliating individual Minnesota’s PCA providers for the purpose of identifying the individual PCA who provides the services to members on both fee-for-service and managed care organization (MCOs) claims.

    PCA agencies must enroll individual PCAs with MHCP and affiliate individual PCAs with their agencies. MHCP assigns a Unique Minnesota Provider Identifier (UMPI), which is a National Provider Identifier (NPI) equivalent, to the individual PCA during the enrollment process. The PCA agency uses the UMPI on the claim to report the individual as the person who rendered the services to the member. Prior to making the request, the PCA agencies must ensure that each individual PCA they employ:

  • • Meets the personal care assistant criteria
  • • Successfully completes individual PCA standardized training requirements
  • • Does not appear on the Office of Inspector (OIG) Exclusion list
  • • Successfully completes the background study using NETStudy through DHS Licensing

    • MHCP also ensures the individual PCA provider is not on the OIG Exclusion list and passes the background study with the agency and shares this information with the MCOs on a weekly basis.

    PCA provider agencies cannot have or enforce any agreements, requirements or non-compete clause prohibiting, limiting or restricting an individual PCA from working with a member or different PCA provider agency after leaving a PCA provider agency, regardless of the date the agreement was signed.

    MHCP requires PCA agencies to comply with data and other information requests from the PCA Quality Assurance (QA) as written in the PCA QA policy.

    Covered Services

    MHCP reimburses PCA covered services. MHCP may reimburse for assistance with self-administered medications or services outside of Minnesota when identified on the member’s assessment, service plan or care plan documents.

    MHCP covers the travel time an individual PCA spends accompanying a member while that member is being transported to the destination where the individual PCA will assist the member in the community. PCA agency policies, procedures and agreements with members determine whether that agency allows an individual PCA employee to transport a member using the PCA’s or a member’s vehicle. PCA agencies must consult with their legal advisors or business consultants about the liabilities of transporting members.

    For example: A member receives PCA services and needs assistance eating. The member is meeting family at a local restaurant and the individual PCA will assist the member. MHCP will cover the time the individual PCA spends accompanying the member from his or her community setting to the restaurant (and back). If the individual PCA meets the member at the restaurant, MHCP will not cover the individual PCA’s travel time.

    Noncovered Services

  • MHCP does not reimburse for the following services provided by individual PCAs:
  • • Identified noncovered PCA services
  • • Services not identified on the assessment and service plan or the member’s care plan documents
  • • Transportation for the sole purpose of transporting (see the Covered Services section)

    • Authorization Requirements

    All PCA services require authorization. Refer to PCA Referral for Assessment and the following information:

  • • All members will receive authorization for Qualified Professional Supervision services
  • • Lead agencies may authorize waiver members who are assessed to receive state plan PCA services to receive extended waiver PCA services. Lead agencies may also authorize fewer PCA services if the waiver member is able to get his or her needs met through other services authorized through a waiver program. Refer to the lead agency’s contract requirements to provide extended PCA services.
  • • The QP must contact the lead agency assessor when the member has a change of condition of health status to determine if there is a change in the member’s need for PCA services

    • Billing

    PCA agencies must follow general MHCP billing policies and guidelines in the Billing Policy section when submitting claims to MHCP. Refer to MHCP Billing Resources for methods of submitting claims to MHCP.

    Documentation Requirements

    Matchmaking Agency In Minnetonka Mills

    PCA agencies must have all of the following documentation before submitting a claim to MHCP for reimbursement of PCA or QP services:

  • • A copy of the member’s Assessment and Service Plan (DHS-3244) (PDF), Supplemental PCA Assessment and Service Plan (DHS-3428D) (PDF) (for member’s receiving authorization for PCA services through a waiver), or the MnCHOICES PCA Provider Report.
  • • Service authorization for PCA services
  • • PCA time and activity documentation for all individual PCA providers delivering services to the member
  • • QP documentation supporting the QP visit being billed
  • • Written agreement signed by the agency and member or RP
  • • Shared services agreements signed by all members sharing PCA services (if applicable)

    • PCA agencies must have documentation supporting that the service has been provided for both individual PCA and QP services. MHCP requires PCA agencies to ensure that the individual PCA records all of the minimum required elements when completing the agency’s PCA time and activity documentation process. PCA agencies determine the documentation methods used for recording the QP’s time and activity.

    PCA agencies must follow the direction of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) when paying their individual PCA providers and QPs for services the PCA agency told them to provide.

    Submitting PCA Claims

    Submit claims for reimbursement of PCA services in the following manner:

  • • Use the (837P) Professional transaction
  • • Report the authorization number showing services were approved by MHCP for reimbursement
  • • Report the individual PCA who provided the PCA services as the rendering provider on the claim line
  • • Enter one line per date of service, per individual PCA or QP, per HCPCS code or HCPCS and modifier combination
  • • PCA Complex Claims follow the procedures above as well as the billing grid below
  • • If a member is eligible for the enhanced rate, the PCA services will be prior authorized with the enhanced rate and appropriate modifier(s).
  • • The enhanced rate for PCA Complex will pay in full when two components have been met. First, the member must be assessed as qualifying for the enhanced rate, and there must be a TG modifier on the service agreement that will also be put into the claim by the provider as is outlined in the billing grid. Secondly, there must be a qualified worker providing the PCA service. Workers who qualify for the enhanced rate are reported to DHS by a third party. To verify that a worker is qualified, and it has been reported to DHS, providers can call the Provider Call Center If the member who is eligible for the enhanced rate does not receive services provided by a qualified worker, the claim will be cut back to the regular PCA rate.

    • For individual claims submission, follow the step-by-step instructions in the Completing a MN–ITS Interactive Professional (837P) claim for PCA Services. MHCP uses the following HCPCS codes and modifiers for reimbursement of PCA services.
