These funds need to go towards a higher Agency Directed Personal and Respite Care Reimbursement!!! You are gonna have bigger issues when there are no longer agencies overseeing the care received by our Elderly and Disabled. CD PAS is being rewarded at every turn and 90% of those visits are not even being done! At our Agency we see it daily and report to MCO's and they ignore it. Personal Care Agencies are held to a higher standard and we are not being paid enough to oversee this program.
The list goes on and on....Medicaid requires us to spend most of the money they pay us on things we have to have in order to be a provider and CDPAS is getting almost the same rate of pay and the state is providing them paid time off and vacation....This needs to be fixed! This program needs to be reformed!
