Benefits of Participation in the PDN Directory

A PDN who enrolls in the Private Duty Nursing Medically Fragile Children and Adult Program will receive financial enhancements for doing so.

The Program consists of two components. A PDN may participate in one or both components to receive the corresponding enhanced fee(s):

  • Component 1: Private Duty Nursing Medically Fragile Children and Adult Training and Experience
    • Already an option for PDNs serving medically fragile children, a PDN must enroll in the program by attesting to having completed training and/or experience in the care of medically fragile children and adults
    • 30% fee enhancement to be calculated at claims submission
  • Component 2: Private Duty Nursing (PDN) Medically Fragile Children and Adult (MFCA) Provider Directory
    • A PDN must enroll to be listed in the online, searchable PDN Directory. Participation in the directory indicates the willingness to accept inquiries for providing care to medically fragile children and adults, which may come from family members or representatives, discharge planners and case managers. PDNs are expected to respond to all inquiries.
    • 45% fee enhancement to be calculated at claims submission.
  • If applicable, this fee enhancement is applied after the application of (in addition to) the Medically Fragile Children and Adult Training and Experience fee.
