Am I eligible to be a CDPAP?
Assessment
To get started with the process, you must take the medical examination to prove that you require special assistance. During the medical examination, the medical professional will evaluate the quantity and frequency of care you need. As stated above, you might be required to appear for the ADL or IALD test.
Filling the forms
You will be required to fill out two types of forms. One, the DOH form, which would include the physician statement that you require special assistance. Second, the PCP transfer form that would transfer you from one health plan to another. However, in some cases, you might not be required to submit this form.
Choosing The Caregiver
After filling out the necessary forms, you must officially hire your caregiver. However, you must keep in mind that the chosen caregiver would be required to submit the necessary documents and information before getting selected.
