How the PAS Program Works

The PAS program is designed to assist individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses by providing non-medical, personal care services that allow them to maintain independence in their homes. Here's how the program works:

01 / Eligibility: To qualify, you must be enrolled in Medicaid, living in Pennsylvania, and require assistance with daily living tasks like grooming, dressing, and mobility.

02 / Caregivers Choice: One unique aspect of the PAS program is that it allows you to choose your caregiver. This can be a family member, friend, or someone else you trust.

03 / Paid Caregivers: The person you select will be paid through the PAS program, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their time and care.

Best of all, Comm Care Staffing will handle all the paperwork, training, and management, so you and your caregiver can focus on what matters most: your well-being.

Who is Eligible for PAS?

Eligibility for the PAS program is determined by several factors. To qualify, you must meet the following requirements:

01 / Medicaid Enrollment: You must be currently enrolled in Medicaid in Pennsylvania.

02 / Need for Assistance: You must require assistance with at least one daily living activity such as dressing, bathing, or mobility.

03 / Living at Home: You must be living in your own home or the home of a family member.

04/ Physician's Evaluation: A healthcare professional will need to certify that you require personal assistance services to maintain your safety and well-being.

Once these criteria are met, we can help you get started on the process of finding a caregiver and applying for benefits.
