Pursuant to 42 CFR Section 447.272, 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 services to comply with enacted Chapter 57 of the laws of 2015. The following provides a clarification to provisions previously noticed on February 11, 2015.

Non-Institutional Services

The changes proposed to:

• Expand the population that may be served by these programs that are approved as providers of specialized services for registrants with HIV/AIDS (“AIDS Adult Day Health Care Providers (ADHCPs)”);

• Conform the standards applicable to AIDS ADHCPs operated by residential health care facilities with those operated by diagnostic and treatment centers;

• Conform AIDS ADHCPs non-specialized adult day health care programs, thereby similarly allowing for AIDS ADHCPs to more effectively contract with managed care plans; and

• The Department of Health no longer proposes to revise the reimbursement rates for AIDS ADHCPs to reflect the actual cost of care provided to the expanded population of registrants, as well as registrants with AIDS, and the cost of the overhead expenses of AIDS ADHCP operators.

This provision is now effective September 1, 2017.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative as a result of the clarifying proposed amendments is $704,372 for the State Fiscal Year 2018 and $1,362,975 for the State Fiscal 2019.

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.
