BILL NUMBER:S7149

Title of bill

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to applicants for certificates of authority to operate managed long term care plans

Purpose

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to applicants for certificates of authority to operate managed long term care plans.

Summary of provisions

Amends the definition of eligible applicant in Public Health Law 4403-f to clarify that such an applicant may be a new entity applying for a certificate of authority.

Justification

The Managed Long Term Care program was initially established as a demon- stration program in 1997. The program has evolved over the years and, more recently, as a result of the Medicaid Redesign Team recommendations and the subsequent budget actions, individuals who require long term care services are required to enroll in managed long term care plans. In order to ensure that this population of Medicaid consumers have access to a sufficient amount of plans and providers, it is necessary to clari- fy that new entities may apply to become an MLTC. Such entities must comply with Department of Health regulations related to certification and programmatic requirements, and the Department has the authority to approve or disapprove applicants.

Legislative history

New Bill.

Fiscal implications

Medicaid Redesign Team has determined that as a result of managed care enrollment, savings will accrue to the State.

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
