Institutional Services

The following is a clarification to the June 29, 2016 noticed provision for the certification of specialized inpatient psychiatric units that focus on the treatment of adults, adolescents and children with a diagnosis of both developmental disability and either serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance. Special admission criteria and per-diem rates will be created.

The estimated annual net aggregate increase in gross Medicaid expenditures attributable to this initiative contained in the budget for state fiscal year 2017-2018 is $0, with an annualized value of $4,472,454.

The public is invited to review and comment on this proposed State Plan Amendment, a copy of which will be available for public review on the Department’s website at http://www.health.ny.gov/regulations/state_plans/status.

The New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Department of Health (DOH) are preparing for the submission of “Amendment 03” to the OPWDD 1915(c) Comprehensive Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver (NY.021.05.03). Changes included in Amendment 03 relate to the implementation of new rate setting provisions for reimbursing transportation to Day Habilitation and Prevocational Services and federal financial participation above the regional threshold for higher needs individuals receiving Supervised Residential Habilitation in a Supervised Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) or Supervised Community Residence. The Amendment will also adjust the time period used for calculating the Supervised Residential Habilitation occupancy adjustment that will benefit providers and allow for more timely rate development. Amendment 03 will also effectuate the sunset of the 1915(c) and transition of HCBS to the 1115 Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) Waiver effective June 30, 2018. All other State Plan and Waiver services, currently received by eligible individuals under this 1915(c) Waiver, will continue unchanged under the 1115 MRT Waiver with the one exception noted below. Once fully implemented, the transition will result in more flexible service delivery, payment structures that focus on improved outcomes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and will initiate the transition of the OPWDD service system to Managed Care.

Rate setting methodology includes an update of the base period for the Consolidated Fiscal Report fiscal year filers to more accurately reflect transportation costs by utilizing a cost report closer to the effective rate period. This change will address provider concerns related to the volatility of transportation costs. The OPWDD Comprehensive Waiver will also include provisions allowing for federal financial participation in higher needs funding for Supervised Residential Habilitation services. This provision will allow federal financial participation, but will not affect overall provider payments since this will replace the practice of issuing state-funded supplements to address the needs of individuals needing high levels of direct care or clinical staffing supports.

Effective on July 1, 2018, all 1915(c) Waiver services, funding, providers and plan of care requirements will transition to the 1115 MRT Waiver, with the exception of Plan of Care Support Services (PCSS) which will sunset effective June 30, 2018. Beginning July 1, 2018, a new service comparable to PCSS, HCBS Care Management will be available under the 1115 MRT Waiver. For those individuals who do not elect to receive comprehensive Health Home services, they will receive HCBS Care Management solely for the coordination of their OPWDD services. The transition to the 1115 MRT Waiver will not affect the other HCBS services that a person is authorized to receive or the payments to providers. As a component of this transition, the Medicaid Service Coordination (MSC) State Plan (SPA# NY-12-30) will sunset and be replaced by the Health Home State Plan no earlier than July 1, 2018.

OPWDD and DOH have provided multiple opportunities for public comment and previously issued other public notices regarding the 1115 Waiver transition as follows:

• July 27, 2016 – Public notice announcement regarding the start of the 30-day public comment period for “Amendment 01” of OPWDD 1915(c) Comprehensive HCBS Waiver beginning August 1, 2016;

• June 14, 2017 – Public notice announcement about the transition of OPWDD HCBS from the 1915(c) Waiver authority to the 1115 MRT Waiver authority;

• July 25, 2017 – Public comment period on the OPWDD I/DD Amendment to the 1115 MRT Waiver; and

• December 5, 2017 – Public comment period on the draft OPWDD/DOH Transition Plan for HCBS and Care Management.

Following the 30-day public comment period, OPWDD and DOH posted the revised draft 1115 MRT Waiver amendment which was submitted to CMS for approval and is available for stakeholders on the DOH website at: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/program/medicaid_health_homes/idd/draft_idd_1115_waiver.htm. OPWDD and DOH also have published a draft Transition Plan which outlines the timeline and activities related to the 1115 MRT Waiver and Care Management transition for stakeholder education and input. The draft Transition Plan is available on the DOH website in English, Spanish and Chinese at: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/ medicaid/program/medicaid_health_homes/idd/draft_idd_ 1115_waiver.htm. In order to complete the transition of the 1915(c) Waiver to the 1115 MRT Waiver, OPWDD and DOH must submit an amendment to CMS to close the OPWDD 1915(c) Comprehensive HCBS Waiver effective June 30, 2018.

Written comments concerning the OPWDD 1915(c) HCBS Waiver “Amendment 03” will be accepted for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this notice at: Office for People With Developmental Disabilities, Division of Person-Centered Supports, 44 Holland Ave., 5th Floor, Albany, NY 12229 or [email protected]. Please indicate the OPWDD 1915(c) Waiver transition in the subject line of your comments.

For purposes of section 697(j) the overpayment rate of interest is set at 4 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7.5 percent per annum. For purposes of section 1096(e), the overpayment rate of interest is set at 4 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 9 percent per annum. (The underpayment rates set pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) may not be less than 7.5 percent per annum.) Pursuant to section 1145(a)(1) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for State and local sales and use taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is 14.5 percent per annum. The underpayment rate for the special assessments on hazardous waste imposed by section 27-0923 of the Environmental Conservation Law is 15 percent.

4/1/18 - 6/30/18 Interest Rate Per Annum Compounded Daily

* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 9% for this quarter.

** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 4%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 9%.
