DRP Successfully Assists Philadelphia County Man with Restoration of his Personal Assistance Services Under the Community HealthChoices Waiver

DRP assisted a 56-year-old Philadelphia County resident with orthopedic impairments and glaucoma who lives alone in getting his personal assistance services (“PAS”) hours under the Community HealthChoices waiver restored to 49 per week.  The man’s MCO had reduced his PAS hours from 49 to 28 hours per week.  In lieu of a fair hearing, the man agreed to undergo a reassessment after which his hours were restored.
