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 inpatient hospital, long term care and non-institutional services to comply with recently enacted statutory provisions. The following provides clarification to previously noticed provisions and notification of new significant changes:

Inpatient Hospital Services

• For state fiscal years beginning April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, additional medical assistance payments for inpatient hospital services may be made to public general hospitals operated by the State of New York or the State University of New York, or by a county which shall not include a city with a population over one million, and those public general hospitals located in the counties of Westchester, Erie, or Nassau, up to one hundred percent (100%) of each such public hospital's medical assistance and uninsured patient losses after all other medical assistance, including disproportionate share payments to such general hospitals. For state fiscal years beginning on and after April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2009, initial payments will be based on reported 2000 reconciled data and be further reconciled to actual reported data for 2007; for state fiscal years beginning on and after April 1, 2009, initial payments will be based on reported 2007 reconciled data, adjusted for authorized Medicaid rate changes applicable to the state fiscal year, and further reconciled to actual reported data for 2009, and to actual reported data for each respective succeeding year. Payments to eligible public general hospitals may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments.

• For state fiscal years beginning April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, additional medical assistance payments for inpatient hospital services may be made to public general hospitals, other than those operated by the State of New York or the State University of New York, that are located in a city with a population over one million. Additional medical assistance payments for medical inpatient hospital services of up to $420 million annually may be made for state fiscal years beginning April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, and up to $120 million for state fiscal years beginning April 1, 2011 and annually thereafter based on the relative share of each such non-state operated public general hospital's medical assistance and uninsured losses after all other medical assistance payments including disproportionate share payments. For the state fiscal years on and after April 1, 2009, initial payments will be based on reported 2007 reconciled data, adjusted for authorized Medicaid rate changes applicable to the state fiscal year, and further reconciled to actual reported data for 2009 and to actual reported data for each respective succeeding year. Payments to eligible public general hospitals may be added to rates of payments or made as aggregate payments.

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, holding the operating component of rates of payment for patients assigned to one of the twenty most common non-Medicare diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) to the lower of the facility specific blended operating cost component or the group average operating cost price for all hospitals assigned to the same peer group.

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, certain cost containment initiatives that were enacted in Chapter 81 of the Laws of 1995 and extended by subsequent legislation. The extended provisions are as follows: (1) hospital short stay adjustment factor remains at 100%; (2) hospital long stay adjustment factor remains at 50%; (3) hospital capital costs shall exclude 44% of major moveable equipment costs; (4) elimination of reimbursement of staff housing operating and capital costs; (5) capital costs will be allocated between Medicare and non-Medicare payers based on the proportion of total days for these payers; (6) budgeted capital inpatient costs of a general hospital applicable to the rate year shall be decreased to reflect the percentage amount by which the budgeted costs for capital related inpatient costs of the hospital for the base year two years prior to the rate year exceeded actual costs; (7) reimbursement of based year inpatient administrative and general costs; and (8) elimination of NYPHRM rate enhancements for new technology and universal precautions.

• Continues, effective for periods April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, the 3.33% reduction to the average reimbursable operating costs per discharge of a general hospital, excluding the costs of graduate medical education, to encourage improved productivity and efficiency.

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, an $89 million reduction per year in inpatient rates of payment for general hospital services to encourage improved productivity and efficiency.

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, to allow an annual increase in the statewide average case mix of one percent per year in inpatient rates of payment. The increase in the statewide average case mix in the period January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000, from the statewide average case mix for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, shall not exceed 4% plus an additional 1% per year thereafter. This increase continues to be based on a comparison of data only for patients that are eligible for medical assistance including those patients enrolled in health maintenance organizations.

• Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, continues the provision that rates of payment for inpatient hospital services shall not reflect trend factor projections or adjustments for the period April 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997.

• Continues for services on and after April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, the reimbursable operating cost component for general hospital inpatient rates will be based on 2006 final trend factor equal to the final CPI less 0.25%.

• Effective for services rendered on and after April 1, 2009, rates of payment for general hospitals shall reflect a zero trend factor projection attributed to calendar year 2008. Furthermore, for services on and after April 1, 2009, the trend factor applicable for the 2009 calendar year will be reduced to zero.

• For the period April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, per diem and per discharge rates of payment for general hospital inpatient services will be subject to a uniform reduction to achieve an annual aggregate reduction of no less than $154 million. The methodology used to achieve such reduction was previously noticed on March 26, 2008.

• For discharges, effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, case based rates of payment for general hospitals will reflect certain 2005 operating costs as reported by each facility to the Department prior to July 1, 2009. The rates will be computed based on the case mix neutral statewide base price applicable to each rate period, excluding adjustments for graduate medical education costs, high cost outlier costs, and costs related to patient transfers, and other non-comparable costs. Such statewide base prices will be periodically adjusted to reflect changes in provider coding patterns, case-mix, and such other factors determined by the Commissioner. Rates of payment and case mix factors will reflect 2005 costs relating to services provided to Medicaid inpatients as determined by the applicable ratio of costs to charge methodology. Rates will reflect the application of hospital specific wage equalization factors reflecting differences in wage rates, and will be based on the All Patient Refined (APR) case mix methodology, utilizing diagnostic related groups with assigned weights that incorporate differing levels of severity of patient condition and associated risk of mortality, periodically updated by the Commissioner.

• Regulations will be proposed by the Commissioner of Health, establishing the methodology for the computation of general hospital case based inpatient rates. Such regulations may incorporate quality related measures pertaining to potentially preventable complications and re-admissions and will address adjustments based on the costs of high cost outlier patients.

• Case based rates of payment shall continue to reflect trend factor adjustments based on the consumer price index adjustment factor as provided in and otherwise modified by any applicable statute.

• Regulations will provide for administrative rate appeals, only with regard to the correction of computational errors or omissions of data, including hospital specific computations relating to graduate medical education, wage equalization factor adjustments and power equalization factor adjustments, and capital cost reimbursement.

• Case based rates of payment for teaching general hospitals will include reimbursement for direct and indirect graduate medical education as defined and calculated in accordance with regulations. Such regulations will specify the reports and information required by the Commissioner to assess the cost, quality and health system needs for medical education provided.

• The base period reported costs and statistics used for case based rate-setting operating cost components, including the weights assigned to diagnostic related groups, will be updated no less frequently than every four years and the new base period will be no more than four years prior to the first applicable rate period that utilizes such new base period.

• There is no change to the capital cost reimbursement methodology used to determine such case based rates.

• These provisions will not apply to general hospitals or distinct units whose inpatient reimbursement does not, as of November 30, 2009, reflect case based payment per diagnosis-related group (DRG) or whose reimbursement is, for periods on and after July 1, 2009, determined in the provisions noted above.

• For rate periods on and after December 1, 2009, additional adjustments to the inpatient rates of payment to eligible general hospitals may be made to facilitate improvements in hospital operations and finances, in accordance with the following:

– General hospitals eligible for distributions will be non-public hospitals with Medicaid discharges equal to or greater than 17.5 percent for 2007.

– Funds distributed will be allocated to eligible hospitals pursuant to a formula such that, no hospital's reduction in Medicaid inpatient revenue as a result of the application of these provisions exceeds a percentage reduction as determined by the Commissioner. Funding will be available in aggregate payments of up to $75 million for the period December 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010; up to $33 million for the period April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011; up to $50 million for the period April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012; and up to $25 million for the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.

– Payments made will not be subject to retroactive adjustment or reconciliation and will be added to rates of payments.

– Each hospital receiving funds will, as a condition for eligibility, adopt a resolution setting forth its current financial condition and a plan for reforming and improving such financial condition, including ongoing board oversight, and will, after two years, issue a report setting forth progress achieved regarding such improvement, provided, however, if such report is not issued and adopted, or if such report fails to set forth adequate progress, such facility may be deemed ineligible for further distributions, which may be redistributed to other eligible facilities. Copies of all resolutions and reports will be provided to the Commissioner.

• The revised inpatient per discharge methodology will result in a statewide decrease in aggregate Medicaid payments of no less than $75 million for the period December 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 and $225 million for the period April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011. The reductions are in addition to the prior year rate reduction.

• The current authority to adjust Medicaid rates of payment for non-public general hospitals to include an adjustment for recruitment and retention of non-supervisory health care workers or any worker with direct patient care responsibility will be extended through November 30, 2009. Aggregate payments for the period April 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009, will be $163.145 million.

• In accordance with previously noticed provisions, payments for patients discharged on and after December 1, 2008, who are determined to be in the diagnostic category of alcohol and substance abuse (MDC 20, DRGs 743 through 751) will be made on a per diem basis. This includes inpatient detoxification, withdrawal, and observation services. The per diem rates of payment will be computed using 2006 costs and statistics as reported to the Department by general hospitals prior to 2008. Average cost per diem for the region in which the hospital is located will be calculated with regard to cost incurred for patients requiring medically managed detoxification services and medically supervised withdrawal services as defined by regulations adopted by the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse. The per diem rates will be transitioned to 2006 costs and will be determined as follows:

– For the period December 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009, 75% of the operating cost component will reflect the operating cost component of rates of payment effective for December 31, 2007, as adjusted for inflation and otherwise modified by any applicable statutes, and 25% of such rates will reflect the use of the 2006 operating costs.

– For the period April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, 37.5% of the operating cost component will reflect the operating cost component of rates of payment effective December 31, 2007, as adjusted for inflation and otherwise modified by any applicable statutes, and 62.5% of such rates will reflect the use of the 2006 operating costs.

– For periods on and after April 1, 2010, 100% of the operating cost component of the rates will be based on the 2006 operating costs.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, per diem rates for inpatient psychiatric services at a general hospital, or a distinct unit of a general hospital, shall be computed as follows:

– For rate periods on and after December 1, 2009, the Commissioner will promulgate regulations that establish a reimbursement methodology that utilizes the 2005 operating costs in a case mix adjusted per diem payment, provide for post-discharge referral to outpatient services, and establish outpatient rates for evaluation and pre-admission referrals.

– Per diem rates of payment for reimbursement of psychiatric services will reflect an aggregate net statewide increase of up to $25 million on an annual basis.

– There is no change to the capital cost reimbursement methodology.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, per diem rates for inpatient medical rehabilitation services and inpatient chemical dependency rehabilitation services will reflect the 2005 operating costs (not including direct medical education) as reported to the Department prior to July 1, 2009, adjusted for inflation in accordance with existing statutory provisions and held to a ceiling of 110% of the regional average cost for all such services within the region the hospital is located.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, per diem inpatient rates for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH's) will reflect the 2005 operating costs as reported to the Department prior to July 1, 2009, adjusted for inflation in accordance with existing statutory provisions and held to a ceiling of 110% of the average cost for CAH's statewide.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, for inpatient services provided by specialty long term acute care hospitals, and cancer hospitals designated as of December 31, 2008, the operating cost component will reflect the 2005 operating costs of each such hospital as reported to the Department prior to July 1, 2009 and adjusted by inflation in accordance with existing statutory provisions. There is no ceiling on such costs.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, for exempt acute care children's hospitals designated as such by the federal DHHS as of December 31, 2008, for which a discrete institutional cost report was filed for the 2007 calendar year, and which has reported Medicaid discharges greater than 50% of total discharges in such cost report, the following methodologies shall be in effect:

– the operating cost component will reflect the use of 2007 operating costs as reported to the Department prior to July 1, 2009 and adjusted by inflation in accordance with existing statutory provisions, and further adjusted as the Commissioner deems appropriate, including transition adjustments. The operating component may be on a per case or per diem basis as set forth in regulations promulgated by the Commissioner.

– The base period reported operating costs used to establish inpatient rates for children's hospitals will be updated no less frequently than every two years.

• Effective December 1, 2009, and thereafter, such per diem rates for general hospitals or a distinct unit of a general hospital will exclude physician's costs. Claims for Medicaid fee-for-service payments for such physician's services may be submitted separately.

• There is no change to the capital cost reimbursement methodology used to determine such per diem rates of payment.

• Regulations will be proposed by the Commissioner to implement these provisions.

• For general hospitals or distinct units of a general hospital without adequate cost experience, the operating cost component of the applicable per diem rate will be based on the lower of the facility's or unit's inpatient budgeted operating costs per day, adjusted to actual, or the applicable regional ceiling, if any.

• For payment of alternate level of care (ALC) days of care, the operating cost component for physical medical rehab services, chemical dependency rehab services, services provided by CAHs, and services provided by specialty long-term acute care hospitals, with regard to ALC, will be computed based on the 1987 regional average operating cost component of rates of payment for hospital-based residential health care facilities and trended to the rate period, in accordance with existing methodology.

• Continues through November 30, 2009, an increase to rates of payment for hospital inpatient services by an amount not to exceed $60 million annually in the aggregate. This amount will be allocated among those voluntary non-profit general hospitals, which continue to provide inpatient services as of April 1, 2007, and that have Medicaid discharge percentages equal to or greater than 35%. This percentage shall be computed based on inpatient discharge data reported in each hospital's 2004 cost report submitted on or before January 1, 2007. The rate adjustments shall be calculated by allocating the available funding proportionately based on each eligible hospital's total 2004 Medicaid discharges to the total 2004 Medicaid discharges of all eligible hospitals. The rate adjustments calculated in accordance with this provision will be subject to reconciliation to ensure that each hospital receives in the aggregate its proportionate share of the full allocation. The adjustments may be added to rates of payment or made in aggregate payments to eligible hospitals.

Long Term Care Services

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, the provision that rates of payment for RHCFs shall not reflect trend factor projections or adjustments for the period April 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997.

• Extends current provisions to services on and after April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, the reimbursable operating cost component for RHCFs rates will be established with the final 2006 trend factor equal to the final CPI less 0.25%.

• Continues, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, long-term care Medicare maximization initiatives.

• Effective for services rendered on and after April 1, 2009, rates of payment for nursing home inpatient services except for nursing home services provided to children shall reflect a zero trend factor projection attributed to calendar year 2008. Furthermore, for services on and after April 1, 2009, the trend factor applicable for the 2009 calendar year will be reduced to zero.

• Effective for periods on and after April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the operating cost component of payment rates will reflect allowable operating costs as reported in each facility's 2002 cost reports, adjusted for inflation on an annual basis in accordance with current statutory provisions. For those facilities which do not receive a per diem add-on adjustment in 2008, rates will be further adjusted as determined by paragraph (a) of subdivision 16 and of paragraph (a) of subdivision 14 of section 3 of Part D of the Laws of 2009, and will not be less than the operating component such facilities received in the 2008 rate period, adjusted for inflation on an annual basis. Rates for facilities whose operating cost component reflects base year costs subsequent to January 1, 2002 will have rates computed utilizing allowable operating costs as reported in such subsequent base year period, trended forward to the rate year in accordance with applicable inflation factors.

• Effective for the period April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, the operating cost component of payment rates for inpatient services provided by residential health care facilities the direct and indirect components of the operating cost component of such rates will be computed on a regional basis, and will reflect allowable operating costs as reported in each facility's 2007 cost reports, filed with the Department as of January 1, 2009, adjusted for inflation calculated in accordance with current statutory provisions.

The non-comparable component of the operating cost component of such rates will be computed on a facility specific basis and will reflect allowable operating costs, as reported in each facility's 2007 cost reports filed with the Department as of January 1, 2009, as adjusted for inflation in accordance with applicable statutes.

Effective for periods on and after January 1, 2009, the capital component of payment rates will fully reflect the cost of local property taxes, and payments made in lieu of local property taxes, as reported in each facility's cost report submitted for the year two years prior to the rate year.

The direct component of the operating component of payment rates will be subject to a case mix adjustment through application of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) classification used by the federal government for Medicare payments to skilled nursing facilities to reflect patient services intensity and as may be further adjusted by the Commissioner. Such adjustments will be made semi-annually in each calendar year, and both the adjustments and patient classifications in each facility will be subject to audit review in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Commissioner of Health.

Effective on and after April 1, 2010, rates of payment will, except for the establishment of regional prices, be calculated utilizing only the number of patients reported in each patient classification group and eligible for Medicaid.

Effective April 1, 2010, the operating component of payment rates, for the following categories of facilities will reflect the rates in effect for such facilities on March 31, 2010, as adjusted for inflation in accordance with current statutory provisions:

– AIDS facilities or discrete AIDS units;

– discrete units for residents receiving care in a long-term inpatient rehabilitation program for traumatic brain injury;

– discrete units providing specialized programs for residents requiring behavioral interventions;

– discrete units for long term ventilator dependent residents; and

– facilities or discrete units that provide extensive nursing, medical, psychological and counseling support services for children.

Such rates will remain in effect until the Department, in consultation with representatives of the nursing home industry, develops a regional pricing or alternative methodology for determining such rates.

Effective no later than the 2013 rate period, the operating component of the rates will be based on allowable costs from an annual cost report period which is not earlier than three years prior to the initial rate year. Thereafter, the operating component base year will be updated to be current no less frequently than every six years, provided, however, that current shall mean that the operating components of the initial rate year shall utilize updated base year costs for periods no earlier than three years prior to the initial rate year, adjusted for inflation.

The operating component of the rates will be adjusted to reflect a per diem add-on for the following patient categories:

– each patient whose body mass index is greater than 35;

– each patient who qualifies under the RUG-III impaired cognition and behavioral problems categories, or has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and is classified in the reduced physical functions A, B, or C, or in behavioral problems A or B categories, and has an activities of daily living index score of less than ten; and

– each patient who qualifies for extended care as a result of traumatic brain injury as defined by applicable regulations.

• For the period on and after April 1, 2010, a quality of care incentive pool may be established for eligible residential health care facilities (RHCFs) in order to increase Medicaid rates of payment for such eligible facilities. Aggregate payments will be determined by the Commissioner by applying criteria, including, but not limited to, the quality components of the minimum data set required under federal law, staffing and survey information, and other facility data. Facilities that fall within one or more of the following categories during a review period will be excluded from award eligibility:

– any RHCF that is currently designated by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a "special focus facility";

– any RHCF for which the Department has issued a finding of immediate jeopardy during the most recently completed federal fiscal year;

– any RHCF that has received a citation for substandard quality of care in the areas of quality of life, quality of care, resident behavior, and/or facility practices during the most recently completed federal fiscal year;

– any RHCF that is part of a continuing care retirement community;

– any RHCF that operates as a transitional care unit; and

– any other exclusion deemed appropriate by the Commissioner.

In the event the total amount of funding allocated for a particular fiscal year is not distributed, funds shall be reserved and accumulated from year to year so that remaining funds at the end of a particular fiscal year will be available for distribution during the following fiscal year.

• For periods beginning April 1, 2010, additional transition adjustments may be made to payment rates for residential health care facilities to facilitate improvements in residential health care facilities (RHCFs) operations and finances in accordance with the following:

– RHCFs eligible for distributions will be those non-public facilities and state operated public residential health care facilities, which have an average annual Medicaid utilization percentage of 50% or greater, for the period two years prior to the rate year, and which experience a reduction in their Medicaid revenue of a percentage as a result of the application of regional pricing.

– Transition funds distributed will be allocated based on each eligible facility's relative need. Payments made will not be subject to retroactive adjustment or reconciliation and may be added to payment rates or made as lump sum payments.

– As a condition for eligibility for receiving such funds, each RHCF will adopt a resolution of the Board of Directors or submit a report by the owner acceptable to the Commissioner setting forth its current financial condition and a plan for reforming and improving such financial condition, including ongoing board or owner oversight, and will after two years, issue a report, adopted by such board or issue a further acceptable report by the owner setting forth progress achieved regarding such improvement, provided, however, if such further report is not submitted or fails to set forth adequate progress, such facility may be deemed ineligible for further distributions which may be redistributed to other eligible facilities. Copies of all such resolutions and reports will be provided to the Commissioner.

• Such rates will be adjusted to reflect appropriate cost differentials related to direct care staffing and adjustments made be made to the direct component of the operating cost component of such rate, through a quality of care incentive pool or using such other mechanism deemed appropriate by the Commissioner, after consideration of any recommendation and discussions of the established workgroup.

• Effective April 1, 2009, the Department will only review administrative rate appeals for the correction of computational errors or omissions of data by the Department in determining the operating rate based upon the information provided to the Department prior to the computation of the rate, capital cost reimbursement, or such reasons as the Commissioner determines are appropriate. Any revisions made to a facility's annual cost report for operating rate adjustment purposes later than the due date established by the Commissioner will not be considered.

• Effective for rate periods on and after April 1, 2009, rate of payment for eligible RHCFs, excluding public facilities, will reflect an adjustment for financially disadvantaged assistance. Eligibility for such adjustment will continue to be determined based on RHCFs operating margin over the most recent three-year period for which data is available. Disqualification from such adjustment continues to include any facility with a positive operating margin, a negative operating margin that is within the quartile of the smallest margins, a positive margin in the most recent year of the three year period, or an average Medicaid utilization percentage of 50% or less during the most recent year of the three-year period. However, disqualification will not be applied solely on the basis of a positive margin in the most recent year of such three-year period. Additionally, disqualification will include any facility with a negative operating margin within the quartile with the second smallest margins; and any facility with an average Medicaid utilization percentage of less than 70% during the most recent year of the three-year period.

Determination of the operating loss for eligibility continues to be based on the average of the three-year period and will be calculated by subtracting total operating expenses for the three-year period from total operating revenues for the that period, provided, however, on and after April 1, 2009, such average loss will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of financially distressed funds received by each facility.

For hospital-based RHCFs, for which the average loss cannot be calculated on the basis of submitted costs reports, the sponsoring hospital's overall average loss for the three-year period will be apportioned to the RHCF based on the proportion of the RHCF's total revenues for the period to the total revenues reported by the sponsoring hospital, and such apportioned average annual operating loss will be further reduced by an amount equal to the amount received by such facility.

• For periods on and after April 1, 2009, the financially distressed assistance distributions will not be reduced by a facility's estimated benefit of the 2001 update to the regional input price adjustment factors. In addition, the amount of each facility's distribution will be limited to no more than $1 million for the period April 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and for each annual rate period thereafter.

The total amount of funds to be allocated and distributed as medical assistance for financially disadvantaged RHCF rate adjustments to eligible facilities will be $30 million on an annualized basis on and after January 1, 2009.

For periods on and after April 1, 2009, RHCFs which are eligible for financially disadvantaged rate adjustments will, as a condition for receipt of such rate adjustments, submit to the Commissioner a written restructuring plan that is in accordance with the following:

– The plan will be submitted to the Commissioner within 60 days of the facility's receipt of the rate adjustments for a rate period subsequent to March 31, 2008, provided, however, facilities which are allocated $400,000 or less on an annualized basis shall be required to submit such plans within 120 days, and further provided that these periods may be extended by the Commissioner by no more than 30 days, for good cause shown;

– The plan will provide a detailed description of the steps the facility will take to improve operational efficiency and align its expenditures with its revenues, and will include a projected schedule of quantifiable benchmarks to be achieved in the implementation of the plan;

– The plan will require periodic reports to the Commissioner, in accordance with a schedule acceptable to the Commissioner, setting forth the progress the facility has made in implementation its plan; and

– The plan will include the facility's retention of a qualified chief restructuring officer to assist in the implementation of the plan, provided, however, that this requirement be waived by the Commissioner, for good cause shown, upon written application by the facility.

If a RHCF fails to submit an acceptable restructuring plan in accordance with these provisions, the facility will, from that time forward, be precluded from receipt of all further financially disadvantaged rate adjustments and will be deemed ineligible from any future re-application for such adjustments. Further, if the Commissioner determines that a facility has failed to make substantial progress in implementing its plan or in achieving the benchmarks set forth in such plan, then the Commissioner may, upon 30 days notice to that facility, disqualify the facility from further participation in the rate adjustments, and the Commissioner may require the facility to replay some or all of the previous rate adjustments.

• Effective April 1, 2009, rates of payment for inpatient services provided by RHCFs, in determining the operating component of a facility's rate for care provided for an AIDS patient in a RHCF designated as an AIDS facility or discrete AIDS unit, the operating component will not reflect an occupancy factor increase.

Furthermore, for services on and after April 1, 2009, the trend factor applicable for the 2009 calendar year will be reduced to zero.

• For facilities designated by the federal department of health and human services as exempt acute care children's hospitals as of December 31, 2008, for which a discrete institutional cost report was filed for the 2007 calendar year, and which has reported Medicaid discharges greater than 50% of total discharges in such cost report, the following shall be required:

• Effective December 1, 2009, the operating component of outpatient specialty rates of hospitals will reflect the use of 2007 operating costs as reported to the Department prior to December 1, 2008, and shall include such adjustments as the Commissioner deems appropriate.

– For periods on and after January 1, 2012, 100% of such payment will reflect the utilization of the APG reimbursement methodology.

– Freestanding clinics including freestanding ambulatory surgery centers: for the period March 1, 2009 through December 1, 2009, 75% of the operating cost component of payment rates will reflect the average 2007 calendar year Medicaid payment per claim, for services provided by that facility excluding any payments for services covered by the facility's licensure, if any, under the Mental Health Law, and 25% of the operating component will reflect the utilization of the APG reimbursement methodology.

Such amounts may be adjusted to reflect projected decreases in fee-for-service Medicaid utilization and changes in case-mix with regard to such services from the 2007 calendar year to the applicable rate year. Funds made available as a result of any decreases may be used by the Commissioner to increase capitation rates paid to Medicaid managed care plans and Family Health Plus plans to cover increased payments to health care providers for ambulatory care services and to increase such other ambulatory care payment rates necessary to facilitate access to quality ambulatory care services.

• Rates of payment for diagnostic and treatment center services will result in an aggregate increase of $12.5 million on an annualized basis for the period March 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009, and $50 million on an annualized basis for periods thereafter.

Such distributions will be based on each eligible hospital's proportionate share of Medicaid outpatient visits to the total of all Medicaid outpatient visits for all eligible hospitals. The proportionate distributions may be added to the rates or made in aggregate payments.

• Additional payments of $7.388 million in aggregate, for the period October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, will be made to qualifying diagnostic and treatment centers to reflect additional costs associated with the operation of electronic health records systems that meet such standards as established by the Commissioner.

• Effective for periods on and after April 1, 2009, rates of payment for diagnostic and treatment centers, certified home health agencies and personal care providers providing adult day health care services to patients diagnosed with AIDS as defined by applicable regulations, the Commissioner will apply trend factors using existing methodology, except that such trend factors will not be applied to services for which rates of payment are established by the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene.

• Effective on and after April 1, 2009, the operating component of payment rates, for adult day health care services provided by RHCFs, that have not achieved an occupancy rate of 90% or greater for a calendar year prior to January 1, 2009, or for programs that achieved an occupancy percentage of 90% or greater prior to the 2004 calendar year but in such year had an approved capacity that was not the same as in the 2004 calendar year, will be calculated using 2009 reported allowable costs divided by visits imputed at actual or 90%, whichever is greater.

Prescription Drugs

• Effective June 1, 2009, based upon the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approval of the State's request for a section 1915(b) waiver, the State proposes to include coverage of pilot medication therapy management (MTM) services provided by qualified MTM pharmacists. MTM services consist of one-on-one medication regimen counseling services for eligible Medicaid beneficiaries provided by a qualified MTM pharmacist for purposes of improving overall health outcomes and decreasing overall health care costs. MTM services may be billed by a Medicaid MTM-designated pharmacy. Reimbursement for MTM services will be available at rates established by the State Division of the Budget. A beneficiary shall be eligible for one new patient visit per lifetime, a maximum of six established patient visits per 12-month period, and a maximum of 12 supplemental claims per 12-month period. The rates are as follows:

CPT Codes	Description	Amount
99605	New Enrollee (initial 15 minutes) - max of 1 claim per lifetime	$ 35.00
99606	Established Enrollee (initial 15 minutes) - max of 6 claims in 12 months	$ 25.00
99607	Code to be used with either 99605 or 99606 (additional 15 minutes) - max of 12 claims in 12 months (with no more than 3 claims per visit)	$ 15.00

The estimated annual net aggregate decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this proposed initiative for state fiscal year 2009/2010 is $38.4 million.
