![]() This means that these subcontractor companies provide the same services as us (so they essentially are our competitors), but they have to go through us to participate in the CDPAP program. This way, we make sure everything is in state compliance with these other companies, and the state only has to deal with us, instead of a hundred smaller companies. ![]() So while Venture Forthe acts as a Fiscal Intermediary, facilitating the care with individual Personal Assistants and consumers, we also act as a lead Fiscal Intermediary, facilitating the same work that other health care companies are doing, funneling that business to the state. Now, smaller Fiscal Intermediaries have to go through us to participate in the CDPAP program. Venture Forthe was therefore awarded “Lead FI” status. There were hundreds of health care companies in New York State who were acting as Fiscal Intermediaries, and the state wanted to consolidate. The CDPAP program started several years ago, and has grown to the point that the state has reworked its structure. As a Fiscal Intermediary, Venture Forthe facilitates scheduling and payment. The CDPAP program is separate from Venture Forthe’s established home health care business, in that CDPAP employees are not direct employees of Venture Forthe, but are employees of Medicaid. We participate in the program by communicating with Personal Assistants and Consumers, scheduling, processing timesheets and payroll, etc. To do this, Medicaid enlists the help of Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs) such as Venture Forthe. With CDPAP, the consumer is able to choose a family member or friend to take care of them, and that family member or friend gets paid by Medicaid. Through CDPAP, I would be able to take care of my mother, and get paid by Medicaid. For example, if my mother needs daily help and can’t be left alone, I take care of her and can’t get a job because she needs constant care. This was put into place to serve people who need assistance, and rely on family or friends to provide it. Separately from this, Medicaid has a program called the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). We have an existing website which supports this going concern. We directly employ about 1200 Personal Care Aides, who work in the homes of consumers. ![]() A main focus of what we do is keeping people out of nursing homes, so they can continue to live at home. They gave her the best of care and were even very conciliatory when she died of an unrelated medical issue last year some of the staff even came to the funeral! My only issue with this company was that they periodically either lost the paperwork or filled it out incorrectly leading to difficulties with insurance and getting some medical tests approved.Venture Forthe is a home health care company, that provides personal care aides for consumers who need assistance with activities of daily living. They worked with us for 3 years and even got us to a point where my aunt could go in public to the senior center, which she seemed to enjoy. My aunt required frequent medical visits and they provided both a visiting nurse that came weekly and a doctor that came as needed! This was very useful because it was difficult to get my aunt out of the house. They helped us better understand her condition and how much function she could be expected to regain. The staff were amazingly kind and helpful. We used Venture Forthe for home care of my aunt after she had a TBI due to a car accident. All in all, a great company if you have someone who requires home care! They gave her the best of care and were even very conciliatory when she died of an unrelated medical issue last year some of the staff even came to the funeral!
