Understanding CDHCI
More choice in who provides care at home.
Client Directed Home Care Invoicing, or CDHCI, is a publicly funded home care delivery option for eligible clients in Alberta.
Instead of having care arranged only through a health system or contracted provider, eligible clients can choose a registered home care provider for the services authorized in their care plan.
Your choice
Choose a registered provider that suits your needs.
Your care plan
Services are based on your assessed and authorized needs.
Your family
Find care that feels right for your loved one.
Could you be eligible?
Wondering if CDHCI could apply to your parent?
Eligibility is assessed based on the person's individual circumstances and care needs. These are some of the key things to know.
They live in Alberta
The client must be an Alberta resident with a valid Alberta health care card.
Care can be safely provided at home
Their assessed care needs must be able to be safely met in their home.
Their needs are assessed
Eligibility and authorized services are determined through the appropriate home care assessment process.

CDHCI questions
Questions families often have.
What does CDHCI stand for?+
CDHCI stands for Client Directed Home Care Invoicing. It is a publicly funded home care delivery option administered by Alberta Blue Cross for eligible clients.
Who decides if my parent is eligible?+
Eligibility is determined through the appropriate home care assessment process. Alberta Blue Cross administers the CDHCI program, while the client's care needs and eligibility are assessed through Alberta's continuing care system.
Can I choose Taz Prime as my parent's provider?+
If your loved one is eligible for CDHCI, they can choose a registered provider from the Alberta Blue Cross provider list. Taz Prime can help you understand the steps involved in choosing us.
Does my parent have to be a certain age to receive home care?+
No. Alberta's publicly funded continuing care services can support Albertans of different ages. Eligibility is based on assessed care needs rather than age alone.
Can I change providers if the current provider isn't the right fit?+
Yes. CDHCI allows eligible clients to change or switch providers.
Does CDHCI mean the government pays for any care we choose?+
No. Public funding applies to eligible, authorized services within the client's care plan. The amount of care and authorized hours are determined through the assessment and care planning process.
Can CDHCI help if my family is struggling to provide all the care?+
Potentially. Home care can supplement the support provided by family, friends, and the community. Your loved one's individual care needs and eligibility would need to be assessed.
What if I don't know whether my parent is eligible?+
That's okay. You can start by requesting information or an assessment through Alberta's home care access process. You can also speak with Taz Prime about the provider side of the process.
