State Sen. John Liu has warned that thousands of Medicaid patients may face disruptions to critical at-home care if the state legislature does not extend the April 1 deadline allowing patients and caregivers to transition to statewide fiscal intermediary Public Partnerships, LLC.
Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL) is now responsible for managing payroll and administrative functions for all participants in Medicaid’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). This program allows chronically ill or physically disabled individuals to hire their own caregivers, often family members or close friends.
