Three million children in the U.S. could benefit from Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC), but most families don’t know it exists. Jeffrey Soffen, CEO of Spark Pediatrics, the largest PPEC provider in the country, joins McGuireWoods partner Tim Fry on The Corner Series.
Jeff explains how today’s standard of care leaves 40 to 60 percent of skilled nursing hours unfulfilled, forcing medically complex children to remain hospitalized for upward of 500 days. Spark’s model places children in community-based centers for skilled nursing, therapies and peer socialization. Tune in for Jeff’s perspective on state-by-state legislative expansion, health system partnership and why you can do well by doing good in Medicaid.
