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, institutional and long-term care services to comply with proposed statutory provisions. The following changes are proposed:

Non-Institutional Services

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, this initiative proposes to eliminate the supplemental medical assistance payments of $6 million annually made to providers of emergency medical transportation.

The estimated annual net aggregate decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $6 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, the professional dispensing fee for brand name, generic, and OTC covered outpatient drugs will be updated to $10.08, to align with current costs.

The estimated annual aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $795,531.

Effective on and after October 1, 2018, Medicaid will cover ABAs. ABAs are State Education Department (SED) licensed practitioners who provide intensive treatment for persons diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder using applied behavioral analysis treatment modalities. These services and practitioners are currently covered by Early Intervention (EI), Child Health Plus (CHIP), and all major commercial payers. The Medicaid Program does not currently recognize or reimburse ABA’s, which results in a break in coverage for those children who age out of the EI program.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $12.1 million.

Effective on and after July 1, 2018, the physical therapy cap under both fee-for-service and mainstream managed care will be increased from 20 visits to 40 visits per member in a 12-month period. The following populations are exempt from the 40-visit limitation: children (0-21 years of age); individuals with developmental disabilities; Medicare/Medicaid dually eligible individuals when the service is covered by Medicare; and individuals with a traumatic brain injury. Revision of the physical therapy cap will provide members an opportunity to obtain additional rehabilitation therapy to treat low back pain as well as other physical conditions which will help reduce the need for opioid treatment.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $4.6 million.

Effective on and after April 1, 2018, Medicaid will begin covering Centers for Disease Control (CDC) certified National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). The NDPP is a CDC recognized educational and support program designed to assist at-risk individuals from developing Type 2 diabetes. The program focuses on lifestyle interventions and the long-term effects of diet and exercise. These intense interventions demonstrate a greater influence on the reduction in diabetes risk, return to normoglycemia, and weight loss than less intense programs.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $1.03 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, the Early Intervention Program reimbursement methodology for the targeted case management (service coordination) services will be revised from an hourly rate billed in fifteen-minute units to two separate categories of fixed rates for initial case management services and one per member per month fixed rate for ongoing case management services. These rates are being revised to create administrative efficiencies for billing providers and adjust for administrative activities assumed by providers in direct billing to third party payers through a state fiscal agent established April 1, 2013. These revisions will make the State Plan content and format consistent with Medicaid requirements for case management.

Initial service coordination services not followed by an Individualized Family Service Plan meeting will have a minimum base of two hours with no cap; those followed by an Individualized Family Service Plan meeting will have a minimum base of three hours with no cap. Ongoing service coordination services will have a minimum base of 1.25 hours per month. Rates for case management will be set prospectively and will cover labor, administrative overhead, general operating and capital costs, and regional cost differences.

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

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, this proposal is to establish a ten percent rate increase to the Hospice Residence rates, set a benchmark rate and include specialty rates in the weighted average rate calculation. The proposal would increase Medicaid Hospice Residence rates to help cover current costs and avoid closure of Hospice Residence programs.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $1.7 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, continues the supplemental upper payment limit payments made to general hospitals, other than major public general hospitals under non-institutional services of $339 million annually.

For state fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, continues hospital outpatient payment adjustments that increase the operating cost components of rates of payment for hospital outpatient and emergency departments on and after April 1, 2011, for public general hospitals other than those operated by the State of New York or the State University of New York, which are located in a city with a population of over one million. The amount to be paid will be up to $287 million annually based on criteria and methodology set by the Commissioner of Health, which the Commissioner may periodically set through a memorandum of understanding with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. Such adjustments shall be paid by means of one or more estimated payments. Payments may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments.

For the state fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, continues upon the election of the social services district in which an eligible diagnostic and treatment center (DTC) is physically located, up to $12.6 million in additional annual Medicaid payments may be paid to public DTCs operated by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. Such payments will be based on each DTC’s proportionate share of the sum of all clinic visits for all facilities eligible for an adjustment for the base year two years prior to the rate year. The proportionate share payments may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments to eligible DTCs.

For the state fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, continues up to $5.4 million in additional annual Medicaid payments may be paid to county operated free-standing clinics, not including facilities operated by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, for services provided by such DTC and those provided by a county operated freestanding mental health or substance abuse DTC. Distributions shall be based on each eligible facility’s proportionate share of the sum of all DTC and clinic visits for all eligible facilities receiving payments for the base year two years prior to the rate year. The proportionate share payments may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments to eligible facilities.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, The Department of Health proposes to amend the Public Health Law § 3001, create new Public Health Law § § 2805-z and 3001-a, and amend the Social Services Law § 365-a to permit health care providers to collaborate on community paramedicine programs that allow emergency medical personnel to provide care within their certification, training and experience in residential settings.

The annual increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $2.3 million.

Institutional Services

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, the commissioner shall convene a temporary workgroup comprised of representatives of hospitals and residential nursing facilities, as well as representatives from the department, to develop recommendations for streamlining the capital reimbursement methodology to achieve a one-percent reduction in capital expenditures to hospitals and residential nursing facilities, including associated specialty and adult day health care units. Pending the development of the workgroup’s recommendations and the implementation of any such recommendations accepted by the commissioner, the commissioner shall be authorized to reduce the overall amount of capital reimbursement as necessary to achieve a one-percent reduction in capital expenditures beginning with State fiscal year 2018/2019.

The annual decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $13.4 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, continues the supplemental upper payment limit payments made to general hospitals, other than major public general hospitals under institutional services of $339 million annually.

For the state fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, continues specialty hospital adjustments for hospital inpatient services provided on and after April 1, 2012, to public general hospitals, other than those operated by the State of New York or the State University of New York, located in a city with a population of over one million and receiving reimbursement of up to $1.08 billion annually based on criteria and methodology set by the Commissioner of Health, which the Commissioner may periodically set through a memorandum of understanding with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. Such adjustments shall be paid by means of one or more estimated payments. Payments to eligible public general hospitals may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, payments to hospitals that meet the criteria as an enhanced safety net hospital, the criteria is as follows: In any of the previous three calendar years has had not less than fifty percent of the patients it treats receive Medicaid or are medically uninsured; not less than forty percent of its inpatient discharges are covered by Medicaid; twenty-five percent or less of its discharged patients are commercially insured; not less than three percent of the patients it provides services to are attributed to the care of uninsured patients; provides care to uninsured patients in its emergency room, hospital based clinics and community based clinics, including the provision of important community services, such as dental care and prenatal care.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative is $20 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, payments to Critical Access Hospitals, Safety Net Hospitals, and Sole Community Hospitals will be based on criteria as determined by the Commissioner of Health.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $40 million.

Long Term Care Services

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, continues additional payments to non-state government operated public residential health care facilities, including public residential health care facilities located in Nassau, Westchester, and Erie counties, but excluding public residential health care facilities operated by a town or city within a county, in aggregate amounts of up to $500 million. The amount allocated to each eligible public RHCF will be in accordance with the previously approved methodology, provided, however that patient days shall be utilized for such computation reflecting actual reported data for 2016 and each representative succeeding year as applicable. Payments to eligible RHCF’s may be added to rates of payment or made as aggregate payments.

The overall combined estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to the extension of all upper payment limit (UPL) payments for state fiscal year 2018/2019 in $2.5 billion.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018, the Commissioner shall convene with New York State Nursing Home Associations and other industry experts alongside representatives from the New York State Health Department, to revise the current Case Mix collection process in an effort to promote a higher degree of accuracy in the case mix data which would result in a reduction of audit findings. Pending the development and implementation of the revised process, the commissioner shall be authorized to reduce the overall amount of case mix reimbursement as is necessary to achieve savings.

The estimated annual net aggregate decrease in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $15 million.

Effective on or after April 1, 2018 this proposes legislation to authorize the department to conduct a study of Home and Community Based Services in rural areas of the state. This study will include a review and analysis of factors including but not limited to transportation costs, costs of direct care personnel including home health aides, personal care attendants and other direct service personnel, and opportunities for telehealth and/ or technological advances to improve efficiencies.

The Legislation would also authorize the department to provide a targeted, Medicaid rate enhancement if supported by the study, for fee for service personal care.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2018/2019 is $3 million.

The following is a clarification for the partial restoration of the two percent annual uniform reduction of Medicaid payments which was originally noticed on March 26, 2014.

In F-2018-0120, the applicant, the Breezy Point Cooperative, Inc., is proposing to modify three (3) existing timber groins within the west end of Roxbury, Queens, NY. The groins are proposed to be modified by increasing their elevation to +4.9’ NAVD88 by driving interlocking PVC or steel sheet piles adjacent to and attached to the existing groins. The structures are located approximately 3,000 feet west of the Marine Parkway Bridge, approximately 1,000 feet north of Rockaway Point Boulevard fronting the Bayside Avenue (stretching eastward from Beach 184th Street to Roxbury Boulevard) at Rockaway Inlet. This part of the Roxbury community is situated just north of Fort Tilden (Gateway National Recreation Area) and east of federal lands in the vicinity of a conspicuous stone jetty extending from Fort Tilden across beach areas seaward from the terminus of Beach 184th Street.

According to the information submitted to the Department of State, “the height increase is proposed to provide increased sand retention. The increased sand retention and its associated shoreline stabilization are interim measures to increase protection against flood and erosion within the vulnerable Roxbury community.” No dredging is proposed as part of the project, however the application states that materials may be temporarily excavated to facilitate tying the structures (existing groins and new sheet pile or PVC) together with bolts or other standard construction or engineering, immediately adjacent to the existing groins and that all material would be placed back in the excavated area.

The above-referenced project is located within the New York City Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) planning area and proposed activities are subject to evaluation under the policies and purposes of the federally approved program.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning any of the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 30 days from the date of publication of this notice or April 27, 2018.
