The following clarifications are proposed: Effective January 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016, the State will continue to reimburse converted Targeted Case Management (TCM) providers at their existing Health Home Legacy TCM rates. Effective September 1, 2016 Health Home providers, including TCM providers, will be paid Health Home per member rates that are based on three tiers, “high, medium, low”, acuity, functional status, and region, and a uniform case finding rate. Current rates to implement court orders for the Assisted Outpatient population (Health Home Plus) and the Adult Home population will remain in effect. The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of Health
In July 1997, New York State received approval from the federal government of its Section 1115 waiver request, known as the Partnership Plan. Approval of this waiver allowed the State to implement a mandatory Medicaid managed care program in counties with sufficient managed care capacity and the infrastructure to manage the education and enrollment processes essential to a mandatory program.
This letter is to notify you that New York State will request a waiver amendment from the federal government that allow for revisions to the state’s MRT Waiver Amendment. The MRT Waiver Amendment was approved in April 2014, and reinvests $8 billion in savings generated by the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) reforms to transform the state’s health care delivery system, bend the Medicaid cost curve, and assure access to quality care for Medicaid members. The proposed revisions will not change the structure or intent of the waiver amendment programs; the revisions are intended to provide clarity, add detail and better reflect the program and policy implementation to date. In addition, the revisions will provide additional detail and reflect actual spending of waiver amendment dollars to date and revised projections of sources and uses in future years.
Additional information concerning the Partnership Plan and any amendment requests can be obtained by writing to: Department of Health, Office of Health Insurance Programs, Corning Tower (OCP Suite 720), Attention Waiver Management Unit, Albany, NY 12237 or by email: 1115waivers@health.ny.gov
Written comments concerning the amendment will be accepted at the above address for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this notice. More details will be made available at the state’s MRT waiver website at http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/mrt_waiver.htm.

Department of State Notice of Review for the Village of Macedon Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program
PURSUANT to Article 42 of the New York State Executive Law and 19 NYCRR Part 601, the New York State Department of State (DOS) has accepted a Draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) for the Village of Macedon, located within Wayne County and the Finger Lakes region.

For this purpose, the Village of Macedon Draft LWRP is available online at http://www.dos.ny.gov/opd/programs/WFRevitalization/LWRP_draft.html.
