    PPEC for Children with Complex Medical Conditions

    An integrated medical home-away-from-home for medically complex children across Miami Gardens, Hialeah, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Hollywood.

    What is Complex Medical Conditions?

    Children with complex medical conditions often live with multiple diagnoses across several body systems — neurological, respiratory, GI, cardiac, and developmental. They typically require continuous medical oversight, frequent therapy, multiple medications, and coordination between specialists.

    How PPEC Helps Children with Complex Medical Conditions

    Blessed Pediatric Care is purpose-built for medically complex children. Daily skilled nursing, integrated therapy, prescribed meals and feedings, and developmental support all happen under one roof, in coordination with each child's pediatrician and specialty teams.

    Does Medicaid Cover PPEC Services?

    Yes. Florida Medicaid covers Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) when a treating physician certifies medical necessity. Blessed Pediatric Care is a Medicaid-enrolled PPEC provider serving Miami-Dade and South Broward families. Our intake team verifies eligibility, obtains prior authorization, and coordinates the plan of care at no cost to your family.

    Does Transportation Qualify?

    Yes. Medicaid-covered non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is typically available for children authorized for PPEC services. Blessed Pediatric Care helps families across Miami Gardens, North Miami, Opa-Locka, Hialeah, Aventura, Miami Lakes, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Hallandale Beach schedule daily pickups and drop-offs.

    How Admission Works

    Admission begins with a physician referral and a current History & Physical. Our intake team obtains the plan of care, verifies Medicaid eligibility, schedules a tour of our Miami Gardens facility, and works with the child's medical team to start care — usually within days of approval. Families are welcome to call (305) 260-6621 or submit a referral online.
