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 clarifying changes are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

The following clarifications are to the March 30, 2011 noticed provision for Health Home Services.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Department of Health, in collaboration with the Office of Mental Health, the Office for Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, and the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities will be authorized to begin Medicaid coverage for Health Home Services to high-cost, high-need enrollees. The previous effective date was October 1, 2011.

Payment for Health Homes service will be a per-member, per-month (PMPM) care management fee that is adjusted based on 1) region, 2) enrollment volume, and 3) case mix (from 3M™ Clinical Risk Groups (CRG) method). This fee will eventually be adjusted by (after the data is available) patient functional status. As a result, reimbursement will be reflective of cost-associated adjustments in the intensity and frequency of intervention based on patient's current condition and needs (from tracking to high touch).

This care management fee will be paid in two increments based on whether a patient is in 1) the case finding group, or 2) the active care management group. The case finding group will receive a PMPM that is a reduced percentage (80 percent) of the active care management PMPM. The case finding PMPM is only available for up to the first three months after a patient has been assigned to a given Health Home, and this PMPM is intended to cover the cost of outreach and engagement. Once a patient has been assigned a care manager and is actively engaged in the Health Home program, the active care management PMPM may be billed.

The active care management PMPM will be paid in two installments. The first installment may be billed up front, and the second installment will automatically be paid once the Health Home provider meets certain pre-set state quality metrics. In the first year, a percentage (90 percent) of the PMPM will be paid up front and the remaining percentage (10 percent) will be reserved against meeting the quality benchmarks.

If the State achieves overall savings from the implementation of this program, Health Home providers will be eligible to participate in a shared savings pool. The pool will be developed at the end of the first year of health home operation and will consist of a percentage (15 percent) of the documented State share savings derived from Health Home operation. The State will use a method to adjust savings for regression to the mean before setting up the pool. If the federal portion of savings becomes eligible for shared savings with providers, then a portion of those savings will be included in the pool based on any federal conditions that may be applied to such savings. Under federal rules, some shared savings incentive payments cannot exceed 105 percent of the aggregate payment for Medicaid services received.

The estimated net aggregate decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for the period January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 is $13.6 million and for the period October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013 is $48.3 million.

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 amendment will be on file and available for public review in each local (county) social services district.

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

As a result of the enacted 2011-2012 State Budget, the New York State Office of Mental Health will be amending its State Medicaid Plan to reflect the continuation of the 2011 rates for the 2012 calendar rate year, effective January 1, 2012, for freestanding psychiatric hospitals licensed under Article 31 of the Mental Hygiene Law.

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.

Pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of section 301-a, subdivision (b) of section 301-d, subdivisions (b) and (c) of section 301-e, subdivisions (a) and (c) of section 301-j and subdivision (a) of section 308 of the Tax Law, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby gives public notice regarding the petroleum business tax (Tax Law, Article 13-A) rate adjustment calculation and the resulting rates effective January 1, 2012 (effective March 1, 2012 for quarterly filers) as follows: The motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.102 to $.107; the non-highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.093 to $.097; the residual petroleum product rate is adjusted from $.071 to $.074; the kero-jet fuel rate is adjusted from $.068 to $.071; the aviation gasoline rate is adjusted from $.102 to $.107; the rate of the supplemental tax on aviation gasoline is adjusted from $.068 to $.071; and the rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax is adjusted from $.068 to $.071. The separate rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel is adjusted from $.0505 to $.0535; it is computed by subtracting one and three-quarters cents from the adjusted rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax. The railroad diesel rate is adjusted from $.089 to $.094; it is computed by subtracting one and three-tenths cents from the motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate.

The utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is adjusted from $.0567 to $.0595 and the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel product is adjusted from $.0571 to $.0599. The utility credit (or reimbursement) rates are further adjusted by adding one-half of one cent to the adjusted rates of the utility credits (or reimbursements); the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is further adjusted from $.0617 to $.0645, and the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel product is further adjusted from $.0621 to $.0649.

The adjusted petroleum business tax rates are obtained by multiplying the existing rates by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2011, and the denominator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2010. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2011, are 219.8, 231.7, 237.4, 245.6, 255.9, 266.3, 298.8, 319.6, 332.4, 314.2, 313.9, and 300.0, which total 3335.6. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2010, are 194.4, 194.0, 209.2, 203.7, 222.7, 205.8, 222.5, 231.6, 229.0, 216.8, 217.0, and 222.7, which total 2569.4. The producer price index for the category of commodities designated as refined petroleum products is published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. As required by law, the adjusted rates, except the utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel, have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one cent. The utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel have been rounded to the nearest hundredth of one cent. Section 301-a of the Tax Law does not allow the rates to change by more than 5 percent of the rates in effect on December 31. The computed rate change was increased by 30 percent; all of the above rates were subject to the 5 percent limitation.
