The purpose of the Patient's Personal Allowance (PPA) Policy is to establish standards and accounting controls for PPA when the Long-Term Care Facility acts as trustee for publicly-aided patients who are residents of the Long-Term Care Facility. In terms of this section, publicly-aided patients are those recipients who participate in the Medical Assistance Program through residence in a licensed nursing facility, ICF/MR, Chronic Disease Facility or Mental Health Facility. Items and services that may be charged to the patient's personal allowance are described in 42 CFR 483.10(c)(8)(ii), as amended from time to time.
