Private Duty Nursing (PDN) Prior Authorization Adjustment Including Urgent Or Emergency Situations

There are times when one PDN agency cannot staff all the PDN services authorized for a participant. The Bureau of Special Health Care Needs (BSHCN) service coordinator may approve services to multiple provider agencies or a different agency to meet the participant's needs. The services must be prior authorized for each provider agency, with a specific number of units authorized to each agency based on the anticipated services each agency will provide.
