Frequently Asked Questions
What Is CDPAP?

Consumer Directed Personal Assistant Program (CDPAP) is a statewide Medicaid program that allows self directing individuals or their administrators to control all aspects of their own care. Individuals choose and train their own caregivers, manage their own schedules and America Homecare pays that caregiver on your behalf

Am I eligible?

In order to be eligible for CDPAP, you must meet the following criteria:

– require assistance with activities of daily living or skilled care

– have a stable medical condition

– be self directing or have a designated representative that is willing and able to direct care as per the program’s requirements

Can CDPAP caregivers perform ``skilled`` task?

This is one of the best features of CDPAP! Unlike regular personal care aides, CDPAP caregivers can perform “skilled” care that would otherwise be performed by a nurse. These include:

– suctioning tracheostomies

– insulin injections

– administration of oxygen or medications where the consumer cannot self-administer

Who can and cannot serve as a Caregiver?

Can:

The individuals recieving care have the choice to select any aide they prefer. The caregiver is most typically a direct relative like son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandchild, etc. Aides are also family friends or neighbors.

Cannot:

Spouses cannot serve as an aide. A “designated representative” of the CDPAP consumer may not serve as a caregiving.

How is the caregiving paid under CDPAP?

Caregivers work with our team and are paid by our team. We will work with you and your caregiver to manage hours and assist with schedules and details of your care.

Is CDPAP is covered by Medicaid?

CDPAP is included in the “benefit package” for both Mainstream Medicaid Managed Care and Managed Long Term Care.

Do Caregivers need a special license or certification?

No
