Healthcare Providers: We are no longer accepting NEW Aid & Attendance (A&A) Applications. All new applications can go to our new A&A Partner.

Please listen to this 12 minute Video regarding our new partner and the nature of our relationship with them ongoing. NOTE: This will not affect any existing VA clients that you have with us – we will continue to manage their VA Benefits for as long as they need it. These existing client’s won’t even know about the change for new applications – as it doesn’t concern them and we don’t want to cause them any confusion or disruption of their services. Here is the 12 minute video about the new partnership which will help you close more VA clients ongoing: https://www.careplanninginstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/CPI_VA_Program.mp4
