The New York State Department of Health is submitting a request to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to amend the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) Plan.

Pursuant to New York’s fiscal year 2019 enacted State budget, New York is seeking approval with this demonstration amendment to:

• Limit the nursing home benefit in the partially capitated Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) Plans: for a person who is permanently placed in a nursing home for a consecutive period of three months or more. In implementing this provision, the department shall continue to support service delivery and outcomes that result in community living for enrollees. Public Health Law 4403-f(v)(13)

• Limit plan to plan transitions within a 12-month period as follows: If another long term care plan certified under this section is available, medical assistance recipients required to enroll in such plans pursuant to this section, including recipients who have been assigned to a provider by the commissioner, may change plans without cause within ninety days of either notification of enrollment or the effective date of enrollment into a plan, whichever is later, by submitting a request of the entity designated by the department in a format to be determined by the department. In accordance with federal statutes and regulations, after such ninety-day period, the department may prohibit a recipient from changing plans more frequently than once every twelve months, except for good cause. Good cause may include poor quality of care, lack of access to covered services, lack of access to providers experienced in dealing with the enrollee’s care needs, or as otherwise determined by the commissioner. Public Health Law 4403-f(vii)

These changes do not impact the Medicaid Managed Care Plans or the integrated MLTC Plan products (Fully Integrated Dual Alignment – FIDA; Medicaid Advantage Plan – MAP; and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly – PACE) or their enrollees.
