Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC)
Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) centers allow Medicaid eligible children from birth through age 20 with medically-complex conditions to receive continual medical care in a non-residential setting. When approved, children can attend a PPEC up to a maximum of 12 hours per day while receiving nursing services, personal care, developmental therapies, and caregiver training. PPECs provide a less restrictive alternative to institutionalization, and reduce the isolation that homebound children may experience.
Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) Provider Qualifications
To enroll as a Medicaid provider, a PPEC must be licensed pursuant to Chapter 391, Florida Statutes, and be in compliance with Chapter 59A-13, Florida Administrative Code.
A PPEC located in Alabama or Georgia that provides services to Florida Medicaid recipients may enroll as an in-state Florida Medicaid provider. However, the PPEC must be licensed in its respective state.
