The Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care market is booming in Florida. With Medicaid reimbursement rates averaging $350–$500 per child per day and growing demand for specialized pediatric care, now is the time to open your PPEC center.
A Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center provides medical daycare for medically complex children — those who require skilled nursing care but can be safely managed outside of a hospital setting. These children may have conditions like cerebral palsy, respiratory disorders, genetic conditions, or technology dependence (ventilators, feeding tubes).
PPEC centers fill a critical gap: they give families a safe, medical environment for their children during the day while parents work, and they reduce costly hospital readmissions. It's a service that changes lives — and it's a sustainable, profitable healthcare business.
Medicaid-funded with predictable daily reimbursements. A well-run center with 15–20 children can generate significant recurring revenue.
You're providing essential care to Florida's most vulnerable children while giving families the support they desperately need.
Increasing awareness, rising pediatric medical complexity, and Florida's large Medicaid population create strong market tailwinds.
The licensing and compliance requirements are complex — which means less competition for those who do it right. That's where we come in.
