Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) Services Transition

CDPAP-Services-Update-New-York-State-Woman-Receiving-Care

New York State Department of Health has partnered with Public Partnerships LLC (PPL) as the single statewide fiscal intermediary for the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP).

Members in Medicaid Managed Care, HealthierLife (HARP), Fidelis Care at Home, Wellcare Fidelis Dual Plus (MAP), and Wellcare Fidelis Dual Access who receive CDPAP services and their CDPAP personal assistants must take immediate action to change their fiscal intermediary to PPL by March 28, 2025. Caregivers who register by the deadline will receive a $100 bonus.

Ensure your caregiver gets paid for CDPAP services

Members and their caregivers must register with PPL through one of the following options:

  1. Call PPL’s support center at 1-833-247-5346 or TTY: 1-833-204-9042. A PPL team member will help you complete the process  
  2. Self-register through PPL@Home by going to PPL’s website at pplfirst.com/cdpap 
  3. Work with PPL or another approved CDPAP facilitator, including Independent Living Centers (ILCs), who can guide you through the process. A list of Department of Health-approved CDPAP facilitators can be found here: CDPAP Facilitators | PPL First 

There is no cost to register with PPL. You will need to provide information about your address, contact information, date of birth, Medicaid number, and information about your caregiver. You will not need to provide bank account or credit card information over the phone.

Avoid an interruption in your services. Contact PPL as soon as possible. If you and your personal assistant have already registered with PPL, you are ready to continue CDPAP services.  

 
Members who receive Personal Care Services through a home care agency are not affected by this change and do not need to take any action.
