X-WR-CALDESC:Some Medicaid beneficiaries with intellectual and \ndevelopmen
 tal disabilities (I/DD) need assistance with the \nactivities of daily liv
 ing (ADLs) such as dressing\, bathing\, \nfeeding\, and toileting. When me
 dically necessary\, assistance with the ADLs is available for persons who 
 are enrolled in NJ's Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs). These ser
 vices are known as Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services. For new referra
 ls\, an MCO nurse does an initial assessment to determine if the person wi
 th I/DD is eligible for this type of assistance\, and\, if yes\, how many 
 hours per week this assistance will be provided and covered by the MCO. Af
 ter the initial assessment\, the \nindividual is reassessed on an annual o
 r semi-annual basis\, or when the individual has a change in his/her condi
 tion. The PCA services can be provided through either a PCA agency that is
  in your MCO's network or they can be self-directed through the program kn
 own as the Personal Preference Program (PPP). Through the PPP program\, th
 e individual or legal guardian is permitted to hire a family member\, frie
 nd\, or neighbor to \nprovide the person with I/DD with the needed assista
 nce with activities of daily living.\n \nThis webinar will provide importa
 nt information on the new PCA/PPP assessment tool\, which was developed by
  the State Medicaid office. After many months of development and field tes
 ting\, this assessment tool is now being used by all of New \nJersey's Med
 icaid MCOs.\n\nSPEAKERS: \nMaribeth Robenolt\, RN\, MPH\, Director\, MLTSS
