Heartland CPR is a Vendor Partner for DHS's DDSD Program

If your family is a beneficiary of the State of Oklahoma DHS's DDSD self-directed services for the care of a disabled client in your home, one of the initial requirements for caretakers is the need for First Aid and CPR training.  We entered into an agreement with the state in 2023 to receive payments directly from the program's payment processor, Acumen.  If you've been directing care for a number of years, this may be something you're well-versed in...but new families who are coming of the waitlist have a number of hurdles that must be cleared to get to that point.  We're here to help and have been involved in meetings with DHS and Acumen management as they work to get the system working in a more streamlined manner.


We are willing to wait for payment for our services from Acumen, which currently can take weeks or months, but we still allow participants of the program to go through their training with us.  We provide the necessary documents and instructions to each participant and the EOR (the parent overseeing the care of the client) to get the training paid for by the third party, Acumen, from fund allocated by the state.  

If this program is something your family member is enrolled in and receiving services, we hope you'll think of us first when it's time to get or renew your Heartsaver First Aid + CPR training.  When you call to register for training in one of our classes, just let us know the information for the client, EOR and DHS Case Manager assigned and we'll take it from there.  If you still have questions, reach out and perhaps we can help.
