PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of Health
Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:
The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for institutional, long term care, and non-institutional services to comply with recently enacted statutory provisions. The following provides clarification to provisions previously noticed on March 30, 2012, and notification of new significant changes:
All Services
• The amount appropriated for previously noticed provisions regarding the Essential Community Provider Network and the Vital Access Providers initiatives in the enacted budget is now $86.4 million, which is a reduction of $13.6 million for state fiscal year 2012/13; however, the annual increase in state fiscal year 2013/14 remains $100 million.
• To clarify, effective April 1, 2012, regularly scheduled phased reductions to hospital inpatient Transition II funding of $25 million will be redirected to the Safety Net/VAP funding instead of the development of the inpatient statewide base price.
The annual increase in gross Medicaid expenditures for both initiatives for state fiscal year 2012/13 is $86.4, including the redirection of the hospital inpatient Phase II funding.
Institutional Services
• Effective May 1, 2012, the statewide base price will be reduced by $19.2 million for state fiscal year 2012/13 and $19.2 million for state fiscal year 2013/14 as compared to the $24.2 million in state fiscal year 2011/12.
Long Term Care Services
• Effective on and after April 1, 2012, for rate periods on and after July 1, 2012, for services provided to residential health care facility residents 21 years of age and older, the Commissioner of Health shall implement a methodology which establishes reimbursement rates for reserved bed days.
- Such methodology shall, for each Medicaid patient for any 12-month period, provide for reimbursement for reserved bed days for up to an aggregate of 14 days for hospitalizations and for other therapeutic leave of absences consistent with a plan of care ordered by such patient's treating health care professional, and up to an aggregate of 10 days of other leaves of absence.
- If the Commissioner, in consultation with the Director of the Budget, determines that such methodology shall achieve projected aggregate Medicaid savings of less than $40 million for state fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012, and each state fiscal year thereafter, the Commissioner shall establish a prospective per diem rate adjustment for all nursing homes, other than those providing services primarily to children under the age of 21, sufficient to achieve such $40 million in savings for each such state fiscal year.
• Effective April 1, 2012, an assisted living program (ALP), that is not itself a certified home health agency (CHHA), shall contract with one or more CHHAs for the provision of services pursuant to Article 36 of the Public Health Law.
- An ALP shall, either directly or through contract with a certified home health agency, conduct an initial assessment to determine whether a person would otherwise require placement in a residential health care facility if not for the availability of the ALP and is appropriate for admission to an ALP.
- No person shall be determined eligible for and admitted to an ALP unless the ALP finds that the person meets the criteria provided above.
- Appropriate services shall be provided to an eligible person only in accordance with a plan of care which is based upon an initial assessment and periodic reassessments conducted by an ALP, either directly or through contract with a CHHA. A reassessment shall be conducted as frequently as is required to respond to changes in the resident's condition and ensure immediate access to necessary and appropriate services by the resident, but in no event less frequently than once every six months. No person shall be admitted to or retained in an ALP unless the person can be safely and adequately cared for with the provision of services determined by such assessment or reassessment.
- The Commissioner of Health will also provide for reimbursement of the cost of preadmission assessments conducted directly by ALPs, which previously would have been performed by and reimbursed to the CHHA. There is no annual increase or decrease in gross Medicaid dollars for this initiative in state fiscal year 2012/13.
Non-institutional Services
• Effective April 1, 2012, the APG investment for hospital outpatient payments will be reduced by $25 million.
The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to these initiatives contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2012/2013 is $26.4 million.
The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed state plan amendment. Copies of which will be available for public review on the Department's website at: http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status.
In addition, copies of the proposed state plan amendments will be on file and available for public review in each local (county) social services district.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of Health
Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:
The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for long term care services to comply with regulations authorized under existing State statute. The following significant changes are proposed:
Long Term Care Services
• Effective for services provided on and after May 1, 2012, Medicaid payments for certified home health care agencies (CHHA), except for such services provided to children under 18 years of age and except for services provided to a special needs population of medically complex and fragile children, adolescents and young disabled adults by a CHHA operating under a pilot program approved by the Department of Health, shall be based on payment amounts calculated for 60-day episodes of care.
- The base price paid for 60-day episodes of care shall be adjusted by an individual patient case mix index, and also by a regional wage index factor. Such case mix adjustments shall include an adjustment factor for CHHAs providing care primarily to a special needs patient population coming under the jurisdiction of the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and consisting of no fewer than 200 such patients. The annual increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for state fiscal year 2012/13 is $600,000.
• Effective July 1, 2012 or upon the effective date of the applicable regulation, the capital cost component of the Medicaid rates of eligible residential health care facilities (RHCF) shall be adjusted, as determined by the Commissioner of Health, to reflect the costs of the annual debt service related to the financing of an automatic sprinkler system that will be in compliance with applicable federal regulations set forth in 42 CFR 483.70(a)(8).
- Eligible facilities are those facilities which the Commissioner determines are financially distressed in terms of their being unable to finance the installation of automatic sprinkler systems as required by the federal regulations. In making such determinations of eligibility, the Commissioner shall consider information obtained from a facility's cost report, and such other information as may be required by the Commissioner, including, but not limited to:
• operating profits and losses;
• eligibility for funding pursuant to the capital cost reimbursement section of Subpart 86-2 of the Public Health Law;
• unrestricted fund balances;
• documentation demonstrating the inability of the facility to independently access the credit markets;
• information related to the health and safety of a facility's residents;
• other financial information as may be required from the facility by the Commissioner; and
• the filing of Certificate of Need (CON) information, or the receipt of required CON approvals, as appropriate.
- As a condition for the receipt of sprinkler funding, each eligible RHCF shall:
• Prepare a schedule setting forth, by month, the estimated debt service payable, assuming level principal and interest payments over the life of the financing. Such schedule, along with such other information as may be required by the Commissioner, shall be provided to the Commissioner for review and approval at least 60 days prior to the due date of such first debt service payment (or such shorter period as the Commissioner may permit); and
• Deposit into a separate account maintained by the facility, Medicaid revenues attributable to the capital rate adjustments for such sprinklers, and any other additional facility revenues needed to cover the scheduled debt service payments attributable to such sprinklers. All such deposits in such account shall be used solely for the purpose of satisfying such debt service payments.
- The estimated annual increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for state fiscal year 2102/13 is $17 million.
• Effective for services provided on and after May 1, 2012, rates of payment for residential health care facilities which have received approval by the Commissioner of Health to provide services to more than 25 patients whose medical condition is HIV Infection Symptomatic, and the facility is not eligible for separate and distinct payment rates for AIDS facilities or discrete AIDS units, shall be adjusted by a per diem adjustment that shall not be in excess of the difference between such facility's 2010 allowable cost per day, as determined by the Commissioner, and the weighted average non-capital component of the rate in effect on and after January 1, 2012, and as subsequently updated by case mix adjustments made in July and January of each calendar year. The estimated annual increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for state fiscal year 2012/13 is $1 million.
The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to these initiatives for state fiscal year 2012/2013 is $18.6 million.
The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed state plan amendment. Copies of which will be available for public review on the Department's website at: http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status.
