Consumer Directed Care

CDPAP in Virginia: What You Need to Know

CDPAP is technically New York's program name. In Virginia, the equivalent is consumer-directed care under the CCC Plus Waiver — and it lets you get paid to care for family.

If you have heard of CDPAP (the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program) and are looking for it in Virginia, you are in the right place. Virginia does not use the "CDPAP" name, but it offers the same idea: a Medicaid program where you choose your own caregiver, including a family member.

That program is consumer-directed services under the CCC Plus Waiver. Same concept — you direct the care and loved ones can be paid — different name.
