CDPAS and CDPAP

The Acronym CDPAS stands for Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Services (CDPAS) and refers to services rendered under the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP).

CDPAP is a NY State Medicaid program that allows home care consumers to recruit, train and hire their own caregivers – including most family members.

Here is an example that illustrates the difference between CDPAP and CDPAS in a sentence:

“After enrolling in the CDPAP, Susan hired her daughter to get paid to provide her CDPAS.”
