Pursuant to 42 CFR § 447.205, the Department of Health hereby gives public notice of the following:

The Department of Health (“the Department”) proposes to amend the Title XIX Medicaid State Plan to supplement the amount paid by the Medicaid program to ambulance providers. Effective April 1, 2006, an annual “emergency medical transportation service supplemental medical assistance payment” shall be made quarterly to ambulance providers in an aggregate amount based upon fiscal year data.

For each ambulance provider that receives medical assistance payments, the Department shall determine the ratio of such provider's State-processed reimbursements to the total such reimbursements made during each quarter of the calendar year, expressed as a percentage. The Department shall multiply the percentage of medical assistance reimbursements made to each ambulance provider by the aggregate amount. The result of such calculation shall represent the “emergency medical transportation service supplemental payment” and shall be paid expeditiously to such provider on a quarterly basis.

The Department shall pay one hundred per centum of the non-federal share of any payments made as a result of this amendment to the State Plan.

Providing the State receives Federal financial participation, the aggregate amount will be six million dollars statewide in 2008–09. The amount to be disbursed to providers whose area of operation is within the City of New York will be twenty-five percent of the applicable aggregate amount, with the remaining seventy-five percent to be disbursed to all other ambulance providers.

The supplemental payments will result in an annual cost of up to $3.0 million to the State's Medicaid Program in 2008–09.

Copies of the proposed state plan amendment are on file in each local (county) social services district and are available for public review.

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