Position on a Quality Home Care Commission (QHCC) as proposed by the
Department of Labor & Industry:
The PA-PCA members strongly oppose the creation of a Quality Home Care Commission in Pennsylvania.
The proposal would eliminate the consumer-employer model of services and consumer choice of provider.
Position on changing consumer-employer Workers comp. (SWIF) classification
code to Home Health - Nonprofessional Staff (0943) from Domestic Inside Worker (0908/0913):
The members of PA-PCA strongly oppose the change of the classification codes that results
in significantly higher rates and eliminates the employer status of consumers. PA-PCA supports the adoption of a more appropriate
code "domestic inside physical assistance worker" for the consumer-employers.
