What is PCA Choice?

PCA Choice is a self-directed program for people with disabilities that allows you to hire, train, schedule, and manage personal care assistants.

How do I know if I’m eligible for PCA Choice?

To be eligible for PCA Choice, you must:

Be able to manage the responsibilities of hiring, training, scheduling, and firing employees or live with someone who can make those decisions for you
Be eligible for PCA services through Medical Assistance
Have a physical or mental condition, illness, or injury that requires the level of support a PCA can provide

PCA Choice recipients must also complete an annual face-to-face assessment and approve the staff’s time.
