PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of Health
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. The following changes are proposed:
Non-Institutional Services
Effective on or after January 1, 2017, to improve health outcomes and efficiency through patient care continuity and coordination of health services, certain clinicians and clinics providing primary care services will be certified by the Department as advanced primary care practices. Providers will be eligible for enhanced payments for services provided to: recipients eligible for Medicaid fee-for-service, persons enrolled in Medicaid HMOs, and enrollees eligible for Child Health Plus and in approved organizations.
To improve access to high quality primary care services, the Department will provide incentive payments to providers who meet advanced primary care standards established by the Department. Those standards were developed and implemented considering existing standards developed by national accrediting and professional organizations and will be consistent with the 2014 National Committee for Quality Assurance’s Patient Centered Medical Home Recognition Program, Level 3.
For this program, clinics will mean any general hospital providing outpatient care or a diagnostic and treatment center licensed under Article 28 of the Public Health Law; Article 16 of the Mental Hygiene Law; Article 31 of the Mental Hygiene Law; or Article 32 of the Mental Hygiene Law.
To maintain certification, advanced primary care practices must: renew their certification at a frequency determined by the Commissioner, and provide data to the Department and health plans to permit the Commissioner, or his contractor or designee, to evaluate the impact of advanced primary care practices on quality, outcomes, and cost.
Enhanced rates of payment may be made to clinics and clinicians that are certified as advanced primary care practice providers. Such enhancements will be based on the level of standard achieved by the clinician or clinic and will be made to advanced primary care practices that meet specific process or outcome standards.
Patient and health care services provider participation in the program will be on a voluntary basis. Clinics and clinicians participating in the program are not eligible for additional enhancements or bonuses under the Adirondack Medical Home Multipayor Program or the Statewide Patient Centered Medical Home Program for services provided to participants in Medicaid Fee-for-Service, Medicaid Managed Care, or Child Health Plus.
The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for state fiscal year 2017-2018 is $5,760,000.
The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment (SPA), a copy of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/stateplans/status. In addition, approved SPAs beginning in 2011, are also available for viewing on this website.
Copies of the proposed State Plan Amendments will be on file in each local (county) social services district and are available for public review.
For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:
