The enrollment process for CDPAP can be confusing, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Call Health Aide Inc, and one of our CDPAP specialists will guide you through each step. Please call us at (347) 625-3190  for personalized assistance.

Please Note: Health Aide Inc is a Fiscal Intermediary for CDPAP. While we offer guidance on the enrollment process, the application itself must go through your Local Department of Social Services or your Medicaid plan.

The primary distinction between CDPAP caregivers and personal care aides (PCAs) lies in the responsibilities they can undertake. CDPAP caregivers are able to perform skilled tasks, including some healthcare or nursing duties, while PCAs are restricted to providing non-skilled support such as cooking, cleaning, and help with everyday living activities.

Yes, CDPAP is exclusively available to those who are currently on Medicaid, without any exceptions. If you do not have Medicaid but believe you may qualify, you should contact (347) 625-3190 now to get connected with an affiliate who can assist you with the Medicaid application process.

Medicaid is a joint state and federal program offering health coverage for individuals with limited income. Medicare is a federal health coverage program mainly for individuals aged 65 and over or for those with severe disabilities, regardless of their income level.

An agency caregiver is a professional home health aide employed by a home care agency, whereas a CDPAP caregiver is personally hired by the patient and is often a family member or friend of the patient.

At Health Aide Inc, we understand the varying needs and circumstances you might face when looking for caregiving assistance. Whether you:

• Find that you do not meet the requirements for the CDPAP program,

• Or simply prefer the ease of selecting a qualified aide through an established agency,

If you require assistance with activities of daily living such as shopping, cleaning, bathing, and grooming, it’s likely that you may be eligible for care services. A nurse from Health Aide Inc or from your Medicaid plan will conduct an in-home assessment to determine:

• Whether you are eligible for our services.
• The number of weekly hours of care you are entitled to receive.

 We do not impose restrictions based on the type of illness. As long as you have Medicaid and need care, you can qualify for our services regardless of your specific health condition.

No, there is no cost to you for participating in our Medicaid-funded program. You will not have to pay anything out-of-pocket for the care services provided through Health Aide Inc.

Yes, our program is designed to be a comprehensive solution for home care. If you choose to work with Health Aide Inc, our services would replace your traditional home care arrangements.

Since our program is funded through Medicaid, your care schedule, including nighttime care, would be subject to the terms set by your Medicaid insurance. Medicaid will compensate your daughter for the care provided during the approved hours as determined by your Medicaid plan. Health Aide Inc will help facilitate this arrangement in accordance with Medicaid guidelines.

 Absolutely! Just give us a call at (347) 625-3190, and we’ll guide you through the process.

It’s very straightforward. You’ll need to provide your physical exam results, request a switch through your insurance case manager, and then we can make a visit to your home to complete your signup.

Medicaid covers the cost of the program, making it free for all members.

This situation generally works fine, but let’s go over the specifics together. Please reach out to us at [email protected] or call (347) 625-3190 to discuss your circumstances.

Typically, you would need to select either Health Aide or standard home care services as your insurance provider may ask you to choose one. Health Aide does not add hours to your approved plan of care. For instance, if you’re approved for 20 hours of care per week, you can receive those 20 hours either through Health Aide or regular home care, but not both combined.
