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 institutional services methods and standards for setting Medicaid payment rates for Office of People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) Specialty Hospitals. The following changes are proposed:
Institutional Services
The following is a newly established methodology for the reimbursement of existing and newly certified OPWDD Specialty Hospitals.
All existing OPWDD Specialty Hospitals will continue the current fee-based methodology through December 31, 2018. Effective January 1, 2019, the rate for existing specialty hospital providers will follow the method for newly established OPWDD Specialty Hospitals, using a two-year cost-based methodology.
Effective on or after January 1, 2019, for existing specialty hospital providers, a cost-based rate will be developed. The base period CFR operating and capital costs used will be the specialty hospitals CFR for the period from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 or January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The base period CFR will continue to be used for two rate periods within a rate cycle that begins with the January 1, 2019 rate.
Effective on or after October 1, 2017, newly certified providers will be reimbursed a budget-based rate and convert to a cost-based rate after the first full year of costs is reflected in the Consolidated Fiscal Report (CFR) cost report. After a newly certified provider receives a cost-based rate, they will utilize the same two-year cost-based methodology as existing specialty hospital providers and will be rebased at the same time all specialty hospitals are rebased statewide.
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 $7,200,000.
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. In addition, approved SPA’s 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 available for public review.
For the New York City district, copies will be available at the following places:
New York County 250 Church Street New York, New York 10018
