Changes Coming for PDN Providers

North Carolina Home Care agencies providing Medicaid Private Duty Nursing services should check out the new Proposed Clinical Policy 3E for PDN services, available on DMA’s website here.

Among the changes is a limitation in total daily hours of service to 16 hrs per day, with the possibility of added hours in exceptional circumstances. [As you may be aware, this change is in the current Senate approved version of the 2009-2010 North Carolina Budget]. Visit the DMA website and let them know your comments.
