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 non-institutional services to comply with enacted statutory provisions. The following changes are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

The following is a clarification to the April 1, 2020 noticed provision to pursue a Certified Public Expenditure program to maximize federal reimbursement for NEMT services incurred by municipalities. With clarification, the provision shall establish and administer a program for the federal financial participation in reimbursement for ground emergency medical transportation services provided to Medicaid beneficiaries by eligible transportation providers on a voluntary basis.

The provision shall establish a payment methodology for supplemental reimbursement that shall require the eligible transportation provider file cost reports and data as required by the commissioner of health, and certify that:

(a) in accordance with 42 C.F.R. section 433.51 or any successor regulation, the claimed expenditures for the ground emergency medical transportation services are eligible for federal financial participation; and

(b) the amount certified pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision when combined with amounts received from all other sources of reimbursement from the Medicaid program does not exceed one hundred percent of actual costs, as determined in accordance with the Medicaid state plan, for ground emergency transportation services.

2. Eligible transportation providers receiving supplemental reimbursement pursuant to this subdivision shall not receive non-comparable cost reimbursement for the Medicaid costs associated with ambulance services as provided in subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 35 of section 2807-c of the public health law and as may be further defined regulations issued by the commissioner of health and shall not report such costs as Medicaid reimbursable costs in the institutional cost report.

3. For the purposes of this section, an "eligible transportation provider" shall mean:

(a) a provider who provides ground emergency medical transportation services to Medicaid beneficiaries; and

(b) is enrolled as a Medicaid provider for the period being claimed; and

(c) is owned or operated by the state, a political subdivision or local government that employs or contracts with persons or entities licensed to provide emergency medical services in New York state, and includes private entities to the extent permissible under federal law.

There is no additional estimated annual change to gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of this proposed amendment.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment, a copy of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status. Individuals without Internet access may view the State Plan Amendments at any local (county) social services district.
