PDN is skilled nursing reimbursed hourly for clients who meet the THSteps-CCP medical necessity criteria and who require individualized, continuous skilled care beyond the level of skilled nursing visits authorized under the Texas Medicaid Home Health service.
The purpose of PDN is to provide direct, skilled nursing care, and caregiver training and education intended to optimize client health status and promote family-centered, community-based care.
PDN cannot be authorized for the primary purpose of providing respite care, childcare, and activities of daily living for the client, housekeeping services, or comprehensive case management beyond the service coordination required by the Texas Nursing Practice Act.
