Adult Care NetworkMedicaid Home Care Clients in Maryland: A Guide for Agencies
Maryland delivers Medicaid home care largely through Community First Choice (CFC) and related personal assistance programs. Here’s what agencies planning growth should know.
The program (MDH)
The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) administers personal assistance through Community First Choice, Community Personal Assistance Services (CPAS), and Community Options. For FY2025, Maryland reimbursed agency personal assistance at about $25.58/hour, and the state has moved to set a minimum hourly reimbursement floor for personal care aides. Confirm the current rate and program rules against the official MDH source.

What this means for agencies
- CFC is a state-plan option (no waiver waitlist for those who qualify), which means steady demand among eligible Marylanders.
- Supports Planners and case managers help members arrange services — relationships there matter for referrals.
- Confirm eligibility and the specific program (CFC, CPAS, or Community Options) for each family.
