CDPAP, or the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, is a Medicaid program in New York that allows consumers to hire their own caregivers. Unlike traditional home care programs where the agency assigns a nurse or aide, CDPAP gives the consumer full control over who provides their care, which can include family members and friends.
Note: To ensure your chosen caregiver gets paid, you must use a Fiscal Intermediary (FI) like Dada Home Care. Call us now at 718-540-3232 and we will guide you through the entire process.
To be eligible for CDPAP, the consumer must:
Under CDPAP, consumers can hire almost anyone as their caregiver, including:
Caregivers under CDPAP do not need to be certified or have previous healthcare experience. The consumer or their representative is responsible for training the caregiver according to their specific needs.
Caregivers are compensated for their services through Medicaid, and the payment rates are often competitive with traditional home care roles. Dada Home Care is a Fiscal Intermediary (FI) and as an agency, we will facilitate all payments for consumers. Call us today and will walk you through the whole process – no worries!
CDPAP allows consumers to receive highly personalized care from individuals they know and trust. This can lead to better health outcomes and increased satisfaction with the care provided.
Consumers have complete control over their care schedules and routines. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those with complex or varying care needs.
Having a trusted caregiver can significantly enhance the quality of life for consumers, providing emotional support and companionship in addition to physical care.
Call us today to ensure that the consumer is eligible for Medicaid. If not, we can help you apply for Medicaid through the New York State Department of Health.
We will help get you an assessment by a nurse that will determine the level of care needed. We arrange this through your Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plan.
