BILL NUMBER:S3902 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to medical assistance recoupments and reductions for home care services and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE: To alleviate the burdensome fiscal impacts of the recent Medicaid recoupment rate policy of the Department of Health on home care agencies and consumer directed personal assistance programs. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one adds a new Public Health Law § 3621 providing that on and after April 1, 2009, any recoupments or reductions in medical assistance payments for licensed home care services agencies, certified home health agencies (CHHAs) and consumer directed personal assistance programs (COPAPs) shall not be subject to interest. Section two provides that this act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be deemed repealed on March 31, 2015. JUSTIFICATION: Multi-year delays in Medicaid rate change approval and related overpayments have resulted in Personal Care providers, CHHAs and CDPAPs being subject to the massive recoupment of funds within a condensed period of time with punitive interest penalties.
