How it works
Here’s how to receive free access to PCA candidates:
1. If you receive PCA services from MassHealth, you may obtain free access to the list of PCA candidates.
2. Each time you access the list of applicants, you will need to login to www.mass.gov/findpca. Enter your email address, password, and MassHealth number to get verification that you are MassHealth eligible. This will take only a few seconds and can be done online.
3. Establish an account by clicking here.
4. After you receive verification from MassHealth, you may immediately search the list of available PCAs.
5. When you find one or more people who meet your specific needs, you contact them by phone or email to arrange an interview. Before you interview your PCA, check the List of Excluded Individuals/Entities maintained by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the US Department of Health and Human Services. The MassHealth PCA program can NOT pay you for a PCA whose name is listed.
6. When you find someone who meets your needs and who wants to work for you, you hire that person. Click here for hiring tips.
7. If you need additional information on how to screen, interview, conduct reference and background checks, you should contact your Personal Care Management (PCM) agency.

If you have questions, please contact the PCM agency assisting you.
Job candidates in the Rewarding Work database have NOT been screened in any way and their backgrounds have NOT been checked.
It is your responsibility as an employer to check references and backgrounds of people you may hire.
