Personal Assistance.
Medicaid shall cover a service that provides hands-on assistance with personal care and basic home management tasks to the CAP/DA beneficiary who is unable to perform these tasks independently due to a medical condition identified and documented on a comprehensive need-based assessment. The need for assistance must be related directly to the CAP/DA beneficiary’s physical, social, environmental, and functional condition as indicated in the comprehensive need-based assessment. Personal assistant services may be provided in the community, home, workplace, or educational settings at the discretion of the CAP/DA beneficiary or designated representative.
