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.
