Attention Private Duty Nursing providers:
The Health Care Authority (HCA) is clarifying the process for a limitation extension (LE) for additional private duty nursing hours for fee-for-service clients.
The Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Nursing Services Unit Manager (NSUM) may authorize additional hours if they are medically necessary. Additional hours beyond the hours allotted in the client’s private duty nursing prior authorization are subject to review as an LE under WAC 182-501-0169.
This clarification is reflected in a new section of the Private Duty Nursing Billing Guide published February 21, 2023. For additional information, see the What Is Changed Table in the billing guide.
