What is CDPAP and how does it work in New York?

It is a New York State Medicaid program that allows a patient to choose their own caregiver — including a family member, friend, or neighbor — and have Medicaid pay them directly. ProLife Home Care offers free CDPAP consultations at both our Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens offices. We help families understand eligibility, the enrollment process, and which fiscal intermediary to work with. Call (718) 232-2777 to schedule a free consultation.
