NYS Department of Health seeks bidders to provide statewide fiscal intermediary services in response to the state budget

New York’s State Budget for fiscal year 2024-2025 includes legislation that significantly changes the state’s Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPA Program). The CDPA Program, funded through Medicaid, allows chronically ill and/or disabled individuals to engage and employ personal assistants (from recruitment through termination) to provide home health services for them, while a Fiscal Intermediary performs wage and benefit processing. On June 17, 2024, the NY DOH issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), seeking competitive proposals from qualified bidders to become the one Fiscal Intermediary to provide single Statewide Fiscal Intermediary (SFI) services.
