N.Y. What are you hiding from us with the transition to a single (FI) Fiscal Intermediary, (PPL) Public Partnership LLC, for the (CDPAP) Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program? Your lack of transparency puts this whole transition in question!
The home care transparency act bill S9142/A10537 seeks to establish basic oversight of PPL’s failed management of the multibillion dollar CDPAP program.

It sits stalled in the Health Committee.
