Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)

The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) is a New York State Medicaid program that allows consumers to hire their own caregivers, including family members or friends. This provides greater flexibility and control for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities.

CDPAP caregivers, also known as personal assistants (PAs), can be friends, family members, or other trusted individuals. The main restriction is that the caregiver cannot be the consumer’s spouse or legal guardian.

CDPAP empowers consumers by allowing them to choose, hire, and manage their own caregivers. This ensures that the person receiving care has more control over their own care and can select a caregiver they trust and feel comfortable with.

To become a CDPAP personal assistant, the consumer (the person needing care) must first be enrolled in Medicaid. Once enrolled, the consumer can hire you directly as their caregiver. No formal certification is required, but you will need to follow the necessary steps through a CDPAP Fiscal Intermediary.
