Who We Are
Are You Eligible for CDPA Services
To use Consumer Directed Personal Assistance (CDPA), you must be:
 | Eligible for Medicaid (including Long Term Care services) |
| Currently living in New York |
| You or a designated representative are willing to manage the recruiting, hiring, training, supervising and termination of a personal assistant |
How Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Works
1
GET ASSESSED
A practitioner through the Department of Health (DOH) and Maximus Health Services, Inc., contracted under the New York Independent Assessor (NYIA) will complete a home care evaluation. This evaluation will determine if you require services, if you are self-directing, and how many hours of care you are eligible to receive.
2
DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY
CDChoices does not determine eligibility for CDPA. Your Local Department of Social Services or Managed Long Term Care Plan will determine eligibility at the home care evaluation.
3
SELECT HOME CARE
If you decide Consumer Directed Personal Assistance is right for you, you will need to choose a Fiscal Intermediary, like CDChoices, to provide payroll and benefits services.
4
DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT
Recruit, hire and train the people you want to employ as your home care workers or personal assistants.
