The New Landscape of Medicaid Home Care and Other Changes in the NYS 2011 Budget
Due to popular demand, we have added a second session of our training on changes to Medicaid home care in the 2011 NYS budget.
In March 2011, New York State passed a budget bill containing drastic changes to the Medicaid Home Care system. These changes include authority for the Dep't of Health to set standards to manage "high-intensity" personal care cases, a restriction of housekeeping services, reimbursement reductions for CHHAs, and mandatory Managed Long-Term Care. This represents a sea change in the delivery of community-based long-term care services in New York State. The budget also contained significant changes to other Medicaid services, and the EPIC program.
In this training, we highlight the legal changes affecting Medicaid and EPIC, discuss any agency guidance implementing these changes, provide advocacy tips under the new regime, and provide an orientation to Manged Long-Term Care.
