TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the social services law, in relation to
mandatory managed care for certain recipients of medical assistance

PURPOSE OF THE BILL:  This bill would require additional Medicaid recip-
ients, throughout the State, to participate in managed care plans.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:  § 1- Amends Paragraph (b) of subdivi-
sion 1 of § 364-j of the Social Services Law to include rural health
networks and those providers who hold a comprehensive HIV special needs
plan certificate of authority as managed care providers.

§ 2- Amends paragraph (e) of subdivision 3 of § 364-j of the Social.
Services Law to expand the categories of individuals who are required to
enroll with a managed care program. Specifically, this bill would
require that the following categories of individuals be enrolled in
managed care programs: persons who are dually eligible for Medicaid and
Medicare and who are enrolled in a TEFRA plans; persons who are eligible
for S.S.I.; persons who are HIV positive; or persons with serious mental
illness and children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances
be enrolled in managed care programs.

§ 3- Amends § 364-j of the Social Services Law to authorize the Commis-
sioner of Health to take all necessary measures to cause all social
services districts in the state not already doing so to provide Medicaid

services and implement the State's managed care program. In addition,
this section authorizes the Commissioner of Health to submit all appro-
priate waivers to implement this Plan.

§ 4- Stipulates that § 2 of this act shall not take effect unless and
until the Commissioner of Health receives all necessary approvals under
federal law.

§ 5- Effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:  While implementing cost containment measures, managed
care programs incorporate comprehensive consumer protections to ensure
that all recipients obtain enrollment assistance and quality care, and
understand their rights and responsibilities under the managed care
plan. This bill expands the definition of managed care providers,
requires that all areas of the State provide Medicaid managed care
programs, and expands the categories of individuals who are required to
enroll in the programs.
