BILL NUMBER:S4509 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to establishing a health technology assessment committee within the medical assistance program; and to repeal section 365-d of such law relating to early and periodic screening diagnosis and treatment outreach demonstration projects PURPOSE: This bill establishes a committee to provide advice and recommendations to the Department of Health regarding Medicaid coverage of medical devices and surgical procedures thus enhancing transparency and public participation in the process. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill repeals the existing section 365-d of the social services law which was a demonstration program which expired in June 1983. A new section 365-d is added to the social services law to establish a health technology assessment committee which would provide advice and recommendations to the commissioner for purposes of health technology (i.e. medical device and surgical procedure) coverage determinations. Section 1 also authorizes the commissioner to appoint members to the committee and defines committee members' qualifications including representatives of consumer groups and health professions. The committee would be a public committee for purposes of the open meetings law, the public would receive notice of the committee's deliberations and the public would be provided an opportunity to provide comment.
