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 and long-term care services to comply with enacted State statute. The following significant changes are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

Effective December 1, 2011, the Commissioner may grant approval for a temporary adjustment to rates for eligible ambulatory care providers licensed under Article 28 of the Public Health Law (PHL). Eligible ambulatory care providers include those undergoing closure; those impacted by the closure of other health care providers; those subject to merger, acquisition, consolidation or restructuring; those impacted by the merger, acquisition, consolidation or restructuring of other health care providers; and outpatient departments of general hospitals that have entered into an agreement with the Department to permanently decertify a specified number of staffed hospital inpatient beds. Providers must submit for approval a written proposal to the Commissioner, at least 60 days prior to the requested effective date of the adjustment, which demonstrates that one or more of the following will be achieved as a result of such additional financial resources:

• Protect or enhance access to care;

• Protect or enhance quality of care;

• Improve the cost effectiveness of the delivery of health care services; or

• Otherwise protect or enhance the health care delivery system, as determined by the Commissioner.

Proposals must also include a budget, details of the need for the adjustment, the purpose and benefits of receiving the adjustment, the timeframes for implementing actions supported by the adjustment, and the deliverables resulting from receipt of the adjustment. Any such adjustment issued will be in effect for a specified period of time, not to exceed three years, after which the provider will be reimbursed in accordance with the statewide methodology set forth in the State Plan. The Commissioner may establish benchmarks and goals to be achieved, and the provider must submit periodic reports demonstrating achievement of such. Failure to achieve such benchmarks and goals shall be a basis for ending the provider's temporary rate adjustment prior to the end of the specified timeframe.

Federally qualified health centers with reimbursement rates issued pursuant to PHL § 2807(8) may apply for a temporary rate adjustment as an alternative rate-setting methodology in accordance with the provisions of PHL § 2807(8)(f).

There is no estimated annual net aggregate change in gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of this proposed initiative for state fiscal year 2012/2013.

Long-Term Care Services

Effective December 1, 2011, the Commissioner may grant approval for a temporary adjustment to rates for eligible residential health care facilities. Eligible residential health care facilities include those undergoing closure; those impacted by the closure of other health care providers; those subject to merger, acquisition, consolidation or restructuring; and those impacted by the merger, acquisition, consolidation or restructuring of other health care providers. Facilities must submit for approval a written proposal to the Commissioner, at least 60 days prior to the requested effective date of the adjustment, which demonstrates that one or more of the following will be achieved as a result of such additional financial resources:

• Protect or enhance access to care;

• Protect or enhance quality of care;

• Improve the cost effectiveness of the delivery of health care services; or

• Otherwise protect or enhance the health care delivery system, as determined by the Commissioner.

Proposals must also include a budget, details of the need for the adjustment, the purpose and benefits of receiving the adjustment, the timeframes for implementing actions supported by the adjustment, and the deliverables resulting from receipt of the adjustment. Any such adjustment issued will be in effect for a specified period of time, not to exceed three years, after which the facility will be reimbursed in accordance with the statewide methodology set forth in the State Plan. The Commissioner may establish benchmarks and goals to be achieved, and the facility must submit periodic reports demonstrating achievement of such. Failure to achieve such benchmarks and goals shall be a basis for ending the facility's temporary rate adjustment prior to the end of the specified timeframe.

There is no estimated annual net aggregate change in gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of this proposed initiative for state fiscal year 2012/2013.

Copies of the proposed state plan amendments will be available for public review on the Department's website at: http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status

In addition, copies will be on file in each local (county) social services district. For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:

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:

The State proposes to expand Community Habilitation Services authorized by OPWDD. New York State is seeking to implement a new service, Monthly Community Habilitation (MCH) and will establish methods and standards for setting payment rates for MCH.

MCH will have a monthly billing structure. Price setting for the new monthly service will be based on a combination of the provider's IRA price and its group day habilitation price in effect on December 31, 2011. OPWDD will sum the non-room and board component of the individual monthly price derived from the IRA price sheet in effect on December 31, 2011 and the individual monthly price derived from the total approved costs in the group day habilitation price sheet in effect on December 31, 2011. The result will be the non-room and board component of the individual MCH price. The room and board component of the MCH price will be the room and board component of the individual monthly price from the IRA price sheet in effect on December 31, 2011. OPWDD will sum the non-room and board component and the room and board component to yield the individual MCH price. Subsequent MCH prices will be revised if the IRA price or the group day habilitation price used to calculate the individual MCH price is revised. The proposed changes will become effective January 1, 2012. The new methodology will apply to services delivered on or after that date.

The reasons for the proposed changes are to expand eligibility for community habilitation to individuals who reside in supervised residential habilitation settings certified by OPWDD and who are enrolled in the HCBS waiver, and to offer another option to individuals who wish to have their habilitation services focus on a variety of everyday community settings. MCH promises enhanced flexibility and a more individualized approach and will offer increased flexibility in service design, encourage increased community interaction.

The State estimates that there will be no increase or decrease in annual aggregate expenditures as a result of this change.

Texts of regulations describing the proposed changes have been 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.

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:

The State proposes to update the reimbursement methodology for Individual Residential Alternatives (IRA) and Community Residences (CR) certified by OPWDD.

The Individual Residential Alternatives/Community Residence rate will be changed to reflect a new rent offset amount. The offset is based on the amounts established for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Congregate Care Level 2, which are set annually by the Federal Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration has increased its SSI level for 2012. Therefore, the amounts of the rent allowance offset contained in the final regulation for 2012 will increase from the 2010 level.

The proposed changes will become effective January 1, 2012. The new methodology will apply to services delivered on or after that date.

The State estimates that there will be a reduction in annual aggregate expenditures of 0.63 cents per individual, multiplied by 365 days.

Texts of regulations describing the proposed changes have been 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.

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:

The State proposes to change the methods and standards for setting Medicaid payment rates for individualized residential alternatives, community residences and intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled by changing how it determines reimbursement for residential lease costs for these programs. The State will revise the process for reviewing and authorizing continuing residential lease arrangements by OPWDD. The reason for the change is to achieve administrative efficiencies while establishing reimbursement levels that are appropriate.

Currently, OPWDD utilizes a Prior Property Approval process whereby an individual rent calculation is applied to determine a rental reimbursement amount for each individual served. This process is labor intensive and administratively costly. OPWDD proposes to revise the process for continuing residential lease arrangements. For continuing residential lease arrangements, OPWDD expects to discontinue the PPA process. Instead, OPWDD plans to implement an annual calendar year increase, determined by multiplying the base lease amount by a percentage increase based on the Rental of Primary Residence component of the Consumer Price Index. The Prior Property Approval process will continue to be utilized for new residential lease arrangements.

The proposed changes will become effective January 1, 2012. The new methodology will apply to services delivered on or after that date.

The State estimates that this change will not change annual aggregate expenditures.

Texts of regulations describing the proposed changes have been 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 accordance with the New York State Waterfront Revitalization of Coastal Areas and Inland Waterways Act and the New York State Coastal Management Program, the Town and Village of Clayton, located within Jefferson County, prepared a draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). The LWRP is a comprehensive management program for the Town and Village's waterfront resources along the St. Lawrence River, which serves to amend and update the Village's existing, previously approved, LWRP and enlist the Town in this inter-municipal program.

To approve the Town and Village of Clayton LWRP, pursuant to Article 42 of the NYS Executive Law, it is required that potentially affected State, federal, and local agencies be consulted to assure that the program does not conflict with existing policies and programs.

The draft LWRP was accepted by the New York State Department of State as complete and is now available for review by potentially affected State, federal, and local agencies, and the public. Comments on the draft LWRP are due by February 1, 2012. At the close of this required review period, the Department of State will coordinate responses to comments received with the Town and Village of Clayton and modifications to the LWRP will be made, as needed. Following adoption of the LWRP by the Town and the Village, and its subsequent approval by the Secretary of State, pursuant to 15 CFR 923.84(b), the New York State Department of State (DOS) will request incorporation of the LWRP into the State's Coastal Management Program by the federal Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) as a Routine Program Change.

Comments on the Town and Village of Clayton draft LWRP should be submitted by February 1, 2012, to: Kevin Millington, Department of State, Office of Communities and Waterfronts, 99 Washington Ave., Suite 1010, Albany, NY 12231-0001, (518) 473-2479.
