Frequently Asked Questions
Medicaid, as well as other private insurances, repays all PPEC services provided in the state of Florida. So, if your child is eligible or qualifies for PPEC services, Medicaid will cover the price of treatment, and there is no cost to you as a parent.
Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) is a treatment program that provides young children with complex medical needs continuous medical care in a pediatric daycare setting. This program is Medicaid-funded and provides daycare services to children who require nursing, feeding, or medical assistance during the day provided your child is under 21.
PPEC services at a pediatric extended care center generally include nursing care. However, centers such as Children’s Rehab may also offer additional services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, free transportation, recreational activities, and more!
We are able to care for medically fragile children and kids that may have had a developmental delay. The staff at our pediatric rehabilitation center also have training in providing childcare for special needs. However, we still suggest you leave an inquiry if you are unsure if your child qualifies for PPEC medical daycare.
The highest income to qualify for PPEC services with Medicaid will often depend on various factors. If you are unsure whether you qualify, we suggest contacting us or a local Medicaid office for recent information about PPEC income requirements.
