Eagle Eye FV

Founded in 2015, the organization focuses on making it easier for people who need home care services—and the family and friends who assist them—to navigate CDPAP.

Our role as a fiscal intermediary (FI)

Eagle Eye FV serves as a fiscal intermediary for individuals receiving care through CDPAP. As an FI, Eagle Eye FV:

• Acts as the administrative middleman between government programs and individuals receiving CDPAP services.
• Is authorized by the New York State Department of Health to operate as a CDPAP fiscal intermediary (including through Request for Offer #20039).
• Handles required administrative and payroll functions so consumers and caregivers can focus on care.

How we support consumers and caregivers

Eagle Eye FV / Eagle Eye Home Care:

• Assists individuals who want to enroll in CDPAP and manage their own home care.
• Helps consumers select, train, and direct their own caregivers.
• Supports caregivers (often family members or friends) with information about their responsibilities and available benefits.
• Provides guidance so both consumers and caregivers understand how CDPAP works and what to expect from the program.

Our overall goal is to empower people with chronic conditions or disabilities to remain safely at home with care delivered by people they know and trust, while ensuring the CDPAP program's requirements are met.

• Hire their own caregivers, including many family members or friends.
• Train, schedule, and supervise those caregivers directly.
• Receive personal care at home from people they know and trust instead of traditional agency-assigned aides.

CDPAP is designed for people with chronic medical conditions or physical disabilities who need help with day‑to‑day activities and want more control over who provides their care and how it is delivered.

Key features of CDPAP include:

• Consumer choice: Consumers (or their designated representatives) select, train, and direct their personal assistants.
• Flexible scheduling: Weekly hours can be arranged to fit the consumer's lifestyle instead of a fixed schedule set by an outside agency.
• Ability to hire people you know: Many close relatives and friends can be eligible to serve as caregivers, subject to New York State Medicaid rules.
• No clinical license required: Personal assistants do not need a special license or certification and may perform certain skilled tasks consistent with CDPAP rules.

Medicaid is required to participate in CDPAP. Medicare by itself is not enough under current regulations.

• You work with Eagle Eye FV to set up a training plan and schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Service area

Eagle Eye FV works with Medicaid-eligible consumers living in New York State, including the New York City boroughs and surrounding counties such as Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester, through the CDPAP program.

For the most up-to-date information on where services are available and how to enroll, consumers and caregivers should contact Eagle Eye FV directly using the details above.

• Have active Medicaid (Medicare alone is not enough under current regulations).
• Live in New York State.
• Need help with day‑to‑day activities or skilled care at home.
• Have a stable medical condition.
• Are able to self-direct your care, or you have a designated representative who can direct care on your behalf.

Exact eligibility is ultimately determined by New York State Medicaid, your managed care plan, and the assessment process. Eagle Eye FV can help you understand requirements and connect you with resources to apply for Medicaid if you do not already have it.

Who can serve as a caregiver (personal assistant)

Under CDPAP, many people can qualify to become a consumer's paid caregiver (personal assistant), subject to New York State Medicaid rules. According to program information used by Eagle Eye FV, caregivers may include:

• Adult children
• Other relatives
• Friends
• Other trusted individuals chosen by the consumer

CDPAP does not require caregivers to have a special license or certification, and training is directed by the consumer or their representative.

Rules about which specific family relationships are allowed (for example, spouses or parents of minors) are set by New York State and by the consumer's Medicaid plan and may change over time. Eagle Eye FV will review your situation and confirm who can serve as your caregiver under the current regulations.

Caregiver responsibilities

Personal assistants under CDPAP may help with tasks such as:

• Personal care and activities of daily living
• Basic household tasks related to the consumer's care
• Certain skilled tasks in accordance with CDPAP rules and the plan of care

Eagle Eye FV supports consumers and caregivers in understanding their responsibilities and how the CDPAP program works day to day, but final clinical decisions and authorizations are made by the health plan and the overseeing medical professionals.

General pay information

• Caregivers are paid for the hours they work providing authorized care.
• The exact hourly rate depends on several factors, including:
• The consumer's New York county of residence.
• The consumer's Medicaid insurance/plan.
• Because of this, there is no single flat rate that applies to every situation. Consumers and caregivers should contact Eagle Eye FV directly to confirm the current rate for a specific case.

Medicaid is the funding source for CDPAP; Medicare alone is not enough to participate under current regulations.

Examples of caregiver benefits

Based on program information used by Eagle Eye FV, caregivers working through CDPAP may receive, where applicable:

• Instant (same‑day) pay options.
• Holiday pay.
• Paid sick time.
• Paid family leave.
• Access to a 401(k) retirement plan.

Depending on location, insurance, and hours worked, some caregivers may also qualify for additional benefits such as:

• Cell phone reimbursement.
• Child care reimbursement.
• Dental care reimbursement.
• Vision‑related benefits.
• Wellness allowances and occasional care packages.

Some caregivers may have access to a state‑offered benefit card, which can be used to receive certain benefits (often on a tax‑advantaged basis). In some cases, caregivers can choose between a higher hourly rate or a package that includes additional benefits via this type of card. Available options depend on program rules and the consumer's coverage.

Confirming your specific pay and benefits

Because CDPAP is governed by New York State Medicaid rules and individual insurance plans, pay rates and benefits can change and may differ by county or plan.

For the most accurate and current information on:

• Your specific hourly rate, and
• Which benefits you may be eligible for as a caregiver

caregivers and consumers should contact Eagle Eye FV directly by phone or through the website.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
