PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of Health

The New York State Department of Health is submitting a request to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) Plan.

Beginning no earlier than July 1, 2017, New York is seeking approval with this demonstration amendment to:

• Incorporate Medicaid State Plan behavioral health services into the MMMC and HIV SNP contracts for enrolled children.

• Transition coverage under the five children’s Section 1915(c) HCBS waivers to the 1115 demonstration:

o Office of Mental Health (OMH) Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) waiver #NY.0296;

o Department of Health (DOH) Care At Home (CAH) I/II waiver #NY.4125;

o Office of Children and Families (OCFS) Bridges to Health (B2H) SED waiver #NY.0469, B2H Developmental Disability (DD) waiver #NY.0470, and B2H Medically Fragile waiver #NY.0471;

• Remove the exemption from mandatory enrollment into MMMC and HIV SNPS for children in the above HCBS waivers for receipt of HCBS by phasing in enrollment, unless the child is otherwise excluded from enrollment, i.e., available comprehensive Third Party Health Insurance and/or Medicare, or Medically Needy child who is provisionally eligible. Children receiving HCBS under the demonstration who have access to Comprehensive Third Party Health Insurance, Medicare, or are Medically Needy and provisionally eligible will remain in FFS Medicaid until these exclusions from MMMC and HIV SNP enrollment are removed.

• Include children in voluntary foster care agencies in MMMC or HIV SNPs.

• Streamline children’s HCBS administration to have more consistent eligibility processes and benefits across all populations.

• Offer a single HCBS benefit package to all children meeting institutional level of care (LOC) functional criteria. This includes offering State Plan CFCO services to LOC children eligible for Medicaid solely because of receipt of HCBS services (i.e., Family-of-One children not eligible under the State Plan but who meet institutional admission criteria and receive HCBS services).

• Expand Medicaid services to offer an HCBS benefit package identical to the 1115 HCBS package (but not including State Plan CFCO services) to children meeting targeting criteria and having functional needs at-risk of institutional care under the Demonstration. These services will be called the at-risk HCBS Level of Need (LON) services throughout the amendment and will be added no earlier than July 1, 2018.

• Expand Medicaid eligibility for children meeting at-risk HCBS LON targeting and functional status to offer an HCBS benefit package identical to the HCBS package for other at-risk LON children under the Demonstration. LON Family-of-One children will be added no earlier than January 1, 2019.

• Transition from non-risk to risk-based reimbursement for HCBS in MMMC and HIV SNP over time but no earlier than July 1, 2020.

Additional information concerning the MRT 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 e-mail: [e-mail]

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.

MRT Plan information is also available to the public on-line at http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/medicaid_waiver_1115.htm

PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of Health

Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.205, the Department of Health and the NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services hereby give public notice of the following clarification to the March 5, 2014 Public Notice:

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Title XIX (Medicaid) State Plan for coverage and reimbursement of Medicaid rehabilitative services. The following changes are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

The following is a clarification to the March 5, 2014 noticed provision for rehabilitative services provided to Medicaid recipients by eligible providers on the basis of medical necessity. The coverage and reimbursement methodology regarding rehabilitative services will remove substance use disorder clinics from the Medicaid clinic option and cover the services provided by those facilities under rehabilitative services. This allows Medicaid to reimburse outpatient services when provided in a site-based clinic, community setting or in the individual’s place or residence when permitted under State practice laws.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for State fiscal year 2016/2017 is $7.4 million.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment (SPA). 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, approved SPA’s beginning in 2011, are also available for viewing on this website.

Copies of the proposed State Plan Amendments will be on file in each local (county) social services district and available for public review.

For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:

New York County 250 Church Street New York, New York 10018

Queens County, Queens Center 3220 Northern Boulevard Long Island City, New York 11101

Kings County, Fulton Center 114 Willoughby Street Brooklyn, New York 11201

Bronx County, Tremont Center 1916 Monterey Avenue Bronx, New York 10457

Richmond County, Richmond Center 95 Central Avenue, St. George Staten Island, New York 10301

For further information and to review and comment, please contact: Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, Office of Counsel, Trisha R. Schell-Guy, Esq., 1450 Western Ave., Albany, NY 12203, [phone], [e-mail]
