WHAT IS A PPEC?
Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) programs are designed for children (from newborn to 21 years old) with special medical needs that cannot be met by a regular school or daycare, parent, or adult caregiver at home.
The number one criteria for PPEC qualification is a medical diagnosis by a qualified physician.
PPECs are State Licensed and Regulated under the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and are 100% covered by Medicaid or health insurance.
