As Spectrum News 1's Kate Lisa reported, the New York state Department of Health on Monday announced a plan for consumers and providers who need more time to transition to Public Partnerships LLC, the single fiscal intermediary under the consumer directed personal assistance program, or CDPAP.

This isn’t an extension, DOH is insisting; it’s a late registration window that is open until April 30.

New York state Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald spoke with Capital Tonight’s Susan Arbetter about the transition.  

Consumers and personal assistants can register for Public Partnerships LLC by calling 833-247-5346. Or they can log onto PPLfirst.com/CDPAP.
