BILL NUMBER:S5117 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to vision care in school based health centers PURPOSE OF THE BILL: To enhance the availability of vision care services in a school-based health center setting. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 364-j(4)(a)(iii) of the Social Services Law by adding a new clause (E-1) adding certain vision care services at a school-based health center to the list of services which need not be provided by a managed care program. Such services, subject to approval by the Commissioner of Health, would be in partnership with a charitable foundation that agrees to provide free of charge eye glass frames and lenses at the center pursuant to a memorandum of agreement approved by the Commissioner. The Commissioner is further authorized to approve payment rates for vision services at rates comparable to when such services are provided at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) or an entity licensed under Article 28 of the Public Health Law eligible for an ambulatory patient group (APG) rate. Section 2 sets forth the effective date.
