Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to direct state agencies which apply for federal medical assistance waivers to post the status of such applications on the agency's internet website
Purpose
Directs state agencies which apply for federal medical assistance waivers to post information relating thereto on the agency internet website.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Requires every state agency which applies for a federal medical assistance waiver to post on their public website the application for the waiver, the status of the waiver, and whether it has been approved/disapproved.
Justification
In order to provide more transparency and accountability in our healthcare system it is of vital importance that our public is informed with accurate and up-to-date information. This bill would provide our citizens the opportunity to monitor the development and implementation of programs that are not normally covered or reimbursed in the Medicaid system. Under recent federal law change, all amendments to a states' Medicaid system must be approved by the federal government. Posting of the applications will allow participants in New York's healthcare system to appropriately gauge potential changes and prepare accordingly.
