Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI)

Empowering Personalized Home Care in Edmonton

At Incubate Home Care Ltd., we understand that navigating the complexities of home care can be challenging. That’s why we are proud to offer the Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) program in Edmonton, a transformative approach that places control back into the hands of clients and their families. This program, supported by Alberta Health Services (AHS), allows individuals to select their home care providers and have services billed directly to Alberta Blue Cross, streamlining the process and enhancing care experiences.

What Is CDHCI?

The Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) program is an initiative by AHS that enables eligible individuals to choose their preferred home care providers while having services billed directly to Alberta Blue Cross. This model offers greater flexibility, transparency, and personalization in home care services, ensuring that clients receive the support they need in a manner that aligns with their preferences and lifestyles.

Key Benefits of CDHCI

1. Personalized Care

One of the standout features of the CDHCI program is the ability to tailor care plans to individual needs. Clients can select services that best fit their requirements, whether it’s assistance with daily activities, personal care, or respite for family caregivers. This customization ensures that care is not one-size-fits-all but is instead designed to meet the unique needs of each individual.

2. Cost-Effectiveness

The CDHCI program promotes efficient use of resources by allowing clients to choose services that are necessary and beneficial. This approach can lead to cost savings, as families are not paying for services they don’t need. Additionally, the direct billing process reduces administrative burdens, allowing families to focus more on care and less on paperwork.

3. Flexibility and Control

Unlike traditional home care models, CDHCI offers clients the flexibility to adjust care plans as their needs change. Whether it’s increasing care during periods of illness or reducing services when recovery occurs, this program allows for dynamic adjustments, ensuring that care remains aligned with current needs.

Who Is Eligible for CDHCI?

To participate in the CDHCI program, individuals must:

• • Be an Alberta resident with a valid health care card.

• • Have completed a home care assessment with AHS.

• • Require a predictable and consistent level of home care services.

• • Be willing and able to manage the responsibilities associated with directing their own care.

If you meet these criteria, you can discuss the CDHCI program with your AHS case manager to determine if it’s the right fit for you.

How to Get Started

Getting started with the CDHCI program involves a few key steps:
