2009-S6616 - Summary

Relates to direct access to school-based health centers under child health plus.

2009-S6616 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6616

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to school-based
health centers


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To enhance the provision and availability of primary and preventive
care, dental and mental health services provided to eligible children
under the Child Health Plus (CHP) program by School-Based Health
Centers (SBHC).

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section one amends the Public Health Law (PHL) by adding two new
subdivisions 13 and 14 to section 2510 of the (PHL).

Subdivision 13 defines the term "School-Based Health Center."

Subdivision 14 defines the term "Sponsoring organization."

Section two amends paragraph (i) of subdivision 9 of section 2511 of
the PHL to authorize the State Commissioner of Health to contract with
SBHCs within amounts appropriated for the provision of education and
outreach to facilitate the enrollment of children in Medicaid and CHP.

Section three amends subdivision 9 of section 2511 of the PHL to
include SBHCs as community based organizations eligible for funding
for the purposes of public education, outreach, and recruitment of
children eligible for CHP.

Section four amends the PHL by adding a new subdivision 21 to section
2511 to authorize direct access to primary and preventive health care
services, dental services or mental health services in a SBHC by a CHP
enrolled child when the sponsoring organization (a hospital or
community health center) is part of the provider network of the CHP
managed care plan in which the child is enrolled.

In addition, new subdivision 21 provides that the managed care plan
must provide levels and methods of payment to SBHCs consistent with
those provided for similar services in similar settings by similar
providers in the managed care plan's network.

Section five provides an effective date of 90 days after enactment.

 JUSTIFICATION :
School-Based Health Centers are on the front lines promoting
children's health in communities where there is limited access to
health and mental health services. Repeated studies have shown that
SBHCs improve the health and mental health of children and save the
State money. They have been shown to prevent hospitalizations, reduce
emergency room use, improve school performance and attendance and
avoid lost work days for parents.

Also, studies comparing SBHCs and managed care plans have found that
when adolescents who are enrolled in managed care can still use SBHCs,
the adolescents have fewer emergency or urgent visits and more
comprehensive health visits than those who are in managed care but do
not have access to a SBHC.

This bill would break down barriers to SBHC participation in CHP
managed care plans. In addition, it would expand the availability of
services covered under the CHP program to assure that children have
access to necessary physical and mental health services. The bill

ensures continuity of care by requiring that the SBHC discuss any
services or treatments with the primary care practitioner.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
2001-02: A similar bill, A.8565, passed Assembly
2003-04: A similar bill, A.3443, passed Assembly
2005-06: A similar bill, A.2207, passed Assembly
2007-08: A similar bill, S.3597, passed Assembly

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
Any additional costs would be more than offset by improving the health
and mental health of at-risk children and preventing hospital stays
and emergency visits.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
90 days after enactment.

In addition, new subdivision 21 provides that the managed care plan

with  community-based  and other marketing organizations for purposes of
public  education,  outreach,  and  recruitment  of  eligible  children,
including  the  distribution  of  applications and information regarding
enrollment.  In awarding such contracts, the commissioner shall consider
the marketing, outreach and recruitment efforts  of  approved  organiza-
tions,  and  the  extent  to which such organizations are able to effec-
tively target efforts in geographic  regions  where  the  proportion  of
eligible  children  enrolled  under  this  title are lower than in other
geographic regions of the  state.  Community-based  organizations  shall
include,  but not be limited to: day care centers, schools, SCHOOL-BASED
HEALTH CENTERS, community-based diagnostic and  treatment  centers,  and
hospitals.

SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER SERVING THE SCHOOL ATTENDED BY THE CHILD WHEN
THE  SPONSORING  ORGANIZATION  OF  THE  SCHOOL-BASED  HEALTH  CENTER  IS
INCLUDED  IN  THE PROVIDER NETWORK OF THE APPROVED ORGANIZATION IN WHICH
THE CHILD IS ENROLLED.  THE SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER SHALL COMMUNICATE
ANY SUCH PRIMARY CARE SERVICES  AND  TREATMENT  PLAN  WITH  THE  CHILD'S
PRIMARY  CARE  PRACTITIONER  IN  ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ORGANIZATION AND THIS TITLE.   AN APPROVED  ORGANIZATION  SHALL  PROVIDE
LEVELS  AND METHODS OF PAYMENT TO SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS CONSISTENT
WITH THOSE PROVIDED FOR SIMILAR SERVICES IN SIMILAR SETTINGS BY  SIMILAR
PROVIDERS IN THE APPROVED ORGANIZATION'S NETWORK.
  S  4.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to subdivision
9 of section 2511 of the public health law made by section two  of  this
act shall take effect pursuant to section 47 of chapter 2 of the laws of
1998, as amended.
