Self-Direction – Personal Preference Program (PPP)
The New Jersey Personal Preference Program (PPP) offers an alternative way for NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid members who qualify for the Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services benefit to remain in their home and active in their community and does not require the use of a home health care agency.
