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.

Effective January 1, 2016, the early intervention program targeted case management (service coordination) services will be revised to update the plan content and format consistent with Medicaid requirements for case management and to set forth procedures to be used to coordinate early intervention service coordination targeted case management and children’s health home services for infants and toddlers who qualify for care management under both programs.

There is no additional estimated annual change to gross Medicaid expenditures as a result of the clarifying proposed amendments.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed state plan amendment. 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, copies of the proposed state plan amendments will be on file in each local (county) social services district and available for public review.

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 related to health homes. The following clarifications are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

As previously noticed January 1, 2015 the Commissioner of Health, in consultation with the Commissioners of the Office of Mental Health (OMH); the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS); the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS); and the State Education Department (SED), will amend the State Plan for Health Home services to reflect the prioritization and phase-in of children for enrollment in Health Homes. Proposed State Plan Amendments include amending the eligibility criteria to include trauma at risk for another condition; reflect the use of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment tool modified for New York State (i.e., CANS-NY); and to establish legacy rates as may be required for existing children's care management programs that transition to Health Home care management services. The new effective date is on or after January 1, 2016 rather than October 1, 2015.

In addition, the State will be seeking an enhanced federal match of 90% for the new population that will be enrolled into Health Homes as a result of expanding the eligibility criteria to include trauma at risk for another condition.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment. Copies of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status.

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

* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 7.5% for this quarter.

** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 2%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is also 7.5%.

*** Under section 527(f) of the Tax Law, the interest rates relating to the Fuel Use tax are set pursuant to the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). For more information regarding IFTA interest rates, see www.iftach.org.
