WHEREAS, there has recently been several outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza detected in the State;

WHEREAS, avian influenza is typically spread by an uninfected bird coming into contact with an infected bird or that bird's bodily fluids and/or secretions, and

WHEREAS, poultry shows and exhibitions (that is, venues where people and/or firms bring poultry owned or controlled by them to be displayed to paying or non-paying audiences) typically allow for poultry from different farms and premises to be displayed in close proximity with each other, and in a way that permits contract with each other and with each other's bodily fluids and secretion;

NOW, THEREFORE, BASED UPON THE FOREGOING, I, RICHARD A. BALL, COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE AND MARKETS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, hereby find that to prevent the spread of avian influenza to the State's poultry population it is necessary that poultry not be displayed at poultry shows and exhibits; and

I HEREBY ORDER, pursuant to subdivisions (1) and (2) of Agriculture and Markets Law section 72, that: (1) no person or firm owning or operating a poultry show or an exhibition shall conduct such a show or exposition or permit or allow poultry to be displayed thereat; and/or (2) that no person or firm shall display poultry or cause poultry to be displayed at a show or an exhibition, until this Notice of Order is repealed.

In compliance with 42 CFR 431.408(a)(1), the New York State Department of Health is pleased to announce that it will conduct two virtual public hearings, to provide an overview of the State’s proposed 1115 waiver amendment request, “Strategic Health Equity Reform Payment Arrangements: Making Targeted, Evidenced-Based Investments to Address the Health Disparities Exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic” (SHERPA), and allow members of the public to provide comments. This notice further serves to open the 30-day public comment period which will close on May 13, 2022. In addition to this 30-day comment period where the public will be afforded the opportunity to provide written comments, the Department of Health will be hosting two virtual public hearings during which the public may provide oral comments. Any updates related to the public hearings will be sent via the MRT ListServ.

The New York State Department of Health (the State) requests $13.5 billion over five (5) years to fund a new 1115 Waiver Demonstration that addresses the inextricably linked health disparities and systemic health care delivery issues that have been both highlighted and intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. If approved, this 1115 Waiver Demonstration would utilize an array of multi-faceted and linked initiatives in order to change the way the Medicaid program integrates and pay for social care and health care in New York State (NYS). It would also lay the groundwork for reducing long standing racial, disability-related, and socioeconomic health disparities, increase health equity though measurable improvement of clinical quality and outcomes, and keep the overall Medicaid program expenditures budget neutral to the federal government.

To achieve this overall goal of fully integrating social care and health care into the fabric of the NYS Medicaid program, while recognizing the complexity of addressing varying levels of social care needs impacting the Medicaid population, this waiver proposal is structured around four subsidiary goals:

1. Building a more resilient, flexible, and integrated delivery system that reduces health disparities, promotes health equity, and supports the delivery of social care;

2. Developing and strengthening supportive housing services and alternatives for the homeless and long-term institutional populations;

3. Redesigning and strengthening system capabilities to improve quality, advance health equity, and address workforce shortages; and

4. Creating statewide digital health and telehealth infrastructure.

For the last decade, through its current 1115 waiver, NYS has engaged in efforts to redesign Medicaid using managed care and its recently ended DSRIP program. DSRIP had an overall goal of reducing avoidable hospitalizations by 25 percent and achieving savings while transforming the health system to use VBP. NYS achieved many of its goals with DSRIP, including a 26 percent reduction in Potentially Preventable Admissions (PPAs) and an 18 percent reduction in Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPRs) through Measurement Year 5; facilitated a significant increase in Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification; made major progress in integrating physical and behavioral health care; and improved care transitions that directly reduced readmissions. The DSRIP program also incorporated a Value-Based Payment Roadmap, which achieved its goals of at least 80% of the value of all Medicaid managed care contracts in shared savings (Level 1) or higher VBP arrangements, and 35% of contract value in upside and downside risk (Levels 2 and 3) arrangements. As a result of all these initiatives and others in the State’s current 1115 waiver, as well as other Medicaid redesign initiatives, NYS Medicaid spending per beneficiary in 2019 was less than in 2011.

With this waiver demonstration proposal, NYS is incorporating lessons learned from its DSRIP experience, the experience of forming and collaborating with PPSs, the feedback received from stakeholders and the public throughout the demonstration, and insights uncovered during the subsequent DSRIP evaluation process. The State has identified several key practices that will be again leveraged to accomplish the health equity and system transformation goals listed in this amendment with some adjustments in implementation in response to the challenges, nuance, and opportunities experienced during previous efforts, and that recognize addition need as highlighted by COVID-19.

The following chart outlines the specific goals NYS hopes to achieve through this waiver and the objectives of each goal.

Amendment Proposal Summary and Objectives

The New York State Department of Health (the State) requests $13.5 billion over five (5) years to fund a new 1115 Waiver Demonstration that addresses the inextricably linked health disparities and systemic health care delivery issues that have been both highlighted and intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. If approved, this 1115 Waiver Demonstration would utilize an array of multi-faceted and linked initiatives in order to change the way the Medicaid program integrates and pay for social care and health care in New York State (NYS). It would also lay the groundwork for reducing long standing racial, disability-related, and socioeconomic health disparities, increase health equity though measurable improvement of clinical quality and outcomes, and keep the overall Medicaid program expenditures budget neutral to the federal government.

a. Building a more resilient, flexible, and integrated delivery system that reduces health disparities, promotes health equity, and supports the delivery of social care;

b. Developing and strengthening supportive housing services and alternatives for the homeless and long-term institutional populations;

c. Redesigning and strengthening system capabilities to improve quality, advance health equity, and address workforce shortages; and

d. Creating statewide digital health and telehealth infrastructure.

For the last decade, through its current 1115 waiver, NYS has engaged in efforts to redesign Medicaid using managed care and its recently ended DSRIP program. DSRIP had an overall goal of reducing avoidable hospitalizations by 25 percent and achieving savings while transforming the health system to use VBP. NYS achieved many of its goals with DSRIP, including a 26 percent reduction in Potentially Preventable Admissions (PPAs) and an 18 percent reduction in Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPRs) through Measurement Year 5; facilitated a significant increase in Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification; made major progress in integrating physical and behavioral health care; and improved care transitions that directly reduced readmissions.

As a result of all these initiatives and others in the State’s current 1115 waiver, as well as other Medicaid redesign initiatives, NYS Medicaid spending per beneficiary in 2019 was less than in 2011.

With this waiver demonstration proposal, NYS is incorporating lessons learned from its DSRIP experience, the experience of forming and collaborating with PPSs, the feedback received from stakeholders and the public throughout the demonstration, and insights uncovered during the subsequent DSRIP evaluation process. The State has identified several key practices that will be again leveraged to accomplish the health equity and system transformation goals listed in this amendment with some adjustments in implementation in response to the challenges, nuance, and opportunities experienced during previous efforts, and that recognize addition need as highlighted by COVID-19.

The following chart outlines the specific goals NYS hopes to achieve through this waiver and the objectives of each goal.

Eligibility, Benefits, and Cost Sharing Changes

Beneficiaries would experience no reduction in available services, how they receive and access services, how services are delivered, or their expected cost sharing responsibilities. Under New York’s current 1115 waiver demonstration, cost sharing is required only for pharmacy- and durable medical equipment-related costs. NYS seeks approval from CMS to provide a targeted set of Medicaid services for incarcerated individuals 30 days prior to release, including in-reach care management and discharge planning, clinical consultant services, peer services, medication management plan development and delivery of certain high priority medications to ensure active Medicaid status upon release and to assist with the successful transition to community life. While this work may be conducted post-release, the chances of finding and engaging a previously incarcerated individual is significantly more difficult post-release and greatly reduces the chance of stabilization. Early results from other pilots across the nation show significant improvements in stabilization and outcomes when a pre-release model is used. These changes paired with coordinated field-based services that SDHNs through new VBP funding models could stabilize and support this population and reduce recidivism and adverse health outcomes. Individuals eligible for this program are those who are incarcerated in state facilities with two or more chronic physical/behavioral health conditions, a serious mental illness, HIV, or an opioid use disorder.

Enrollment and Fiscal Projections

We anticipate no change in estimated annual enrollment to result from the programs detailed in this application with the exception of the provision for Criminal Justice-involved populations. This component of the amendment is estimated to result in an added enrollment of approximately 92,000 members annually based on DOCCS discharge information by condition for individuals with chronic conditions, SMI, or HIV/AIDS, compiled in 2019. Current average annual enrollment is 4.8 million.

The expected increase the annual average demonstration cost of $40 billion by $2.7 billion to $42.7 billion annually.

Hypotheses and Evaluation

The State will evaluate this amendment in alignment with all CMS requirements. An evaluation design will be developed that will evaluate the hypotheses identified below and will include the methodology, measures, and data sources that will be used to assess the impact of the amendment. This evaluation design will be in addition to the current approved evaluation design. Included in the chart below are the hypotheses by goal and examples of measures and data sources. These hypotheses, measures, and data sources are subject to change and may be further clarified based on input from CMS and stakeholders.

The goals of this amendment are as follows:

Waiver and Expenditure Authorities

In addition to the waiver authorities already granted in the current 1115 waiver demonstration, the State is requesting the following waiver authorities necessary to implement the initiatives aimed at addressing health disparities and the social determinants of health as detailed in this amendment.

Expenditure Authority: New York is requesting expenditure authorities under Section 1115 to disburse funds for the initiatives detailed in this amendment. These include the authority to disburse funds for the creation and initial planning operations of HEROs and SDHNs; to utilize VBP funds in service of this amendment’s health equity goals; the expansion of supportive housing services; programming targeted at quality improvement, workforce, and health equity in financially distressed hospitals and nursing homes and workforce investments; digital health and telehealth infrastructure.

In addition, the State is requesting expenditure authority similar to that allowed for Designated State Health Program (DSHP) funding so that certain state and local health program expenditures are counted toward the State’s share of funding for this amendment.
