Program Approved Service Agency (PASA)

A Program Approved Service Agency (PASA) is an agency that has been approved to provide direct community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities approved for Medicaid waiver services.

Developmental Disability means a disability that is manifested before the person reaches 22 years of age, often attributed to neurological conditions when such conditions result in significantly impaired intellectual functioning and/or adaptive functioning.

PASAs may provide approved services through the Home and Community-Based Services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (HCBS-DD,) Home and Community Based Services Supported Living Services (HCBS-SLS), and Home and Community Based Services, Children’s Extensive Services (HCBS-CES).
