Buffalo Brief: NYS Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt on the CDPAP rollout | Vascular surgeon Dr. Ryan Bird from the Gates Vascular Institute


Listen Later

Part One: NYS Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt sits down with Dave to talk about ongoing problems with the state's rollout of a new fiscal intermediary for its CDPAP.

The problems with CDPAP, which stands for Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, started when the state transitioned from multiple fiscal intermediaries to a single agency charged with carrying out all of the accounting within CDPAP. The deadline for patients, assistants and caregivers to enroll has been pushed back each month since March. It was most recently pushed back to Aug. 1.
