Program Description
PAC is a “Medicaid Waiver Program”. It is a special enhancement of the
Florida Medicaid Program, which permits payment for a unique set of
home and community-based services that are not available under regular
Medicaid. These varied services are designed to allow persons with
AIDS to remain in the comfort of their homes and receive the necessary
medical and social support they require.

Available services depend on the ability to find a Medicaid vendor in
the area willing to provide the service at the Medicaid rate. All of
these services require an annual physician prescription except for
Education and Support.

Case Managers
Each client has a case manager and a nurse care manager who tracks the client throughout the
system, assesses needs, develops a plan of care, acts as an advocate,
and coordinates services. The case manager will find service providers
and will insure that the services match the client’s needs. The client
must be able to receive care at home for no more than the State would
normally spend, on average, for institutional care. The case manger
continually evaluates the safety of the home environment.
