Frequently Asked Questions
For Private Duty Nursing

Answers to the most common questions families have about eligibility for Medicaid-supported services.

What is Private Duty Nursing (PDN)?
Private Duty Nursing offers one-on-one skilled home care for medically complex children, including medication, feedings, trach/vent care, and monitoring.
02
Who qualifies for PDN in Alabama?
Eligibility requires a medically fragile condition, Medicaid coverage, a physician's order, and EPSDT program approval.
03
How does a family apply for PDN services?
Your physician requests a PDN referral through Alabama Medicaid, then you select a provider like Sunbridge Home Health Care to begin services.
04
What costs are involved?
PDN services are fully covered by Medicaid with no out-of-pocket costs under your child's EPSDT benefits.
05
How many hours of care can my child receive?
Authorized hours are based on your child's medical needs and physician's care plan, determined by Medicaid review.

07
What happens if our nurse is unavailable?
