When are injections considered a covered service under PCA or CFSS?

• A. Always with doctor approval
• B. Never
• C. When administered weekly
• D. Only with specific training

Answer: (B)

Injections are considered not to be a covered service under PCA (Personal Care Assistant) or CFSS (Community First Services and Supports) programs. The policies surrounding these services typically exclude any type of injections from the scope of what personal care assistants are permitted to provide. This is primarily due to the medical nature of injections and the associated risks and technical skills required to administer them safely. PCA and CFSS services are designed to support individuals with daily living activities and personal care, rather than delivering medical treatments like injections. Therefore, all choices suggest conditions under which injections could be covered, but since injections are generally excluded, the correct understanding is that they are never covered under these programs.
