What is the CDHCI Program?
The Client Directed Home Care Invoicing (CDHCI) program is a province-wide initiative by Alberta Health Services and Alberta Blue Cross. It allows eligible Albertans to receive publicly funded home care from the private provider of their choice.
Instead of being assigned an AHS care team, you choose a trusted provider like New Day Homecare. We handle everything—hiring caregivers, scheduling, managing care plans, and billing Alberta Blue Cross directly.
Getting Started is Easy
Qualifying for funded home care is simpler than you think. Here's how it works:
Call 811
Request a home care assessment from Alberta Health Services. An AHS Case Manager will evaluate your care needs.
Get Approved
If eligible, your case manager will approve you for the CDHCI program and provide consent forms.
Choose New Day Homecare
Select us as your approved provider. We'll coordinate your care team, schedule services, and bill Alberta Blue Cross directly.
