PUBLIC NOTICE
Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and Department of Health
Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Department of Health hereby give notice of the following:
OPWDD is planning to change its approach for delivering case management services to some Willowbrook Class members who reside in Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF/DDs) and will be establishing a mechanism to accommodate reimbursement for those services.
OPWDD is legally bound to comply with requirements outlined in the Willowbrook Permanent Injunction issued by the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on March 11, 1993 in New York State Association for Retarded Children v. Cuomo. The Permanent Injunction guarantees class members certain rights and sets standards for care. In the case of Willowbrook Class members, the additional services required to provide the case management outlined in Appendix I of the Permanent Injunction have been provided by State employees, generally from the local Developmental Disabilities Services Office (DDSO). These additional services include functions that are important for the health, safety and welfare of these individuals. With attrition, the number of State employees available to deliver these additional case management services is dwindling. OPWDD plans to make this change to address the need to find alternative means to deliver the requisite level of case management services. By this change, OPWDD would be increasing the ICF/DD rate in order to provide a mechanism to sufficiently compensate the ICF/DD for payments to service coordination providers which will be providing these additional, essential services.
The regulations to implement this change will include the methodology for the calculation of the add-on to the ICF/DD rate. On an annual basis, the amount of the add-on is set at half of the MSC Vendor Contract payment for MSC provided for Willowbrook Class members times the number of months each Willowbrook Class member residing in any of the provider's ICF/DDs receives Willowbrook Case Services over the span of the ICF/DD provider's accounting/reporting year.
Additional reimbursement reflected in the ICF/DD Medicaid rates for the first year of implementation is expected to fall within a range from $22,750 to $166,000. The costs to the State will be mitigated as it recognizes savings attributable to the attrition of State employees.
Texts of regulations to implement this change will be distributed to the offices of the local (county) Mental Hygiene Directors and are available for public review. To determine the location of your local Mental Hygiene Director including the office within Manhattan (New York County), you may access a list online at http://clmhd.org/about/countydirectory.aspx.
In New York City, the text of the regulations will be available at the following Developmental Disabilities Services Office locations:
Metro New York DDSO

New York, NY 10014
