Steps
Confirm PERS equipment complies with the applicable UL safety standard for home health care signaling equipment, UL 1637, rather than a general burglar-alarm standard.
Confirm the monitoring center can simultaneously handle multiple concurrent PERS emergency signals and maintains primary and independent, interchangeable backup receivers.
Check state-specific PERS program rules when serving Medicaid/waiver clients, since state Medicaid PERS manuals define required response times, documentation, and monitoring agency obligations at the state program level, not federally.
Maintain a logging system that records time, date, subscriber ID, and emergency code for every signal received, as required by state PERS program manuals.
Verify response-time and callback protocols meet the specific payer's (state Medicaid/waiver program) contractual requirements before billing for PERS monitoring services.
Known gotchas
Don't cite UL 1069 for PERS — that standard covers hospital nurse call/signaling equipment, not household personal emergency response units; the correct reference is UL 1637.
PERS monitoring requirements are largely defined by state health/Medicaid regulations rather than a single national alarm-industry standard, so confirm the specific state program's manual before contracting.
