Personal Assistance Care

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), on behalf of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Adult Protective Services (APS), is issuing an Open Enrollment to enter into contracts with qualified applicants to provide Personal Assistance Care (PAC) services to DFPS clients. The contract opportunity covers PAC services to be delivered in Brazos County and the City of College Station. Eligible applicants must be licensed as a Home and Community Support Services Agency (HCSSA) with the Personal Assistance Services category licensed by HHSC and have an existing HHSC contract to provide Primary Home Care (PHC) services. Applicants must submit completed application forms, licenses, contracts, insurance documents, and other supporting materials by the May 1, 2024 deadline. The contract will compensate successful applicants at a unit rate of $20.00 per hour for face-to-face service claimed in 15-minute increments, but DFPS does not guarantee any minimum level of utilization or number of referrals.

The Open Enrollment is not restricted to any specific types of organizations. However, applicants must meet the licensing and contracting requirements outlined in the documents. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total award value or budget range for this opportunity is also not specified.
