TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public health law, in relation to
funding early intervention services

PURPOSE:

To provide a system that streamlines the process by which funds are
distributed to municipalities to finance early intervention programs,
thereby providing vital relief to the municipalities across the state,
and to improve their ability to more effectively administer early
intervention services to children who need such services.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the public health law by adding a new section
2807-o that provides definitions for terms used in this section of
law. Section one also provides that the commissioner of health shall
make grants to municipalities for the delivery of early intervention
services. Such grants shall be deemed reimbursements from third party
payors to the municipalities and the State and shall be a share of
grants equal to the proportionate share of the municipality and the
State, as the case may be, of the total approved statewide dollars not
reimbursable by the medical assistance program paid by municipalities
and the State to providers of early intervention services in the last
complete state fiscal year for which such data is available.

Section two amends subdivision 6 of section 2807-s of the public
health law by adding two new paragraphs (g) and (h). Paragraph (g)
provides that a further gross statewide amount for two thousand
fourteen shall be four hundred million dollars. Paragraph (h) provides
that the four hundred million dollars specified in paragraph (g) shall
be allocated among the municipalities and the State based on the share
of each municipality and the State of early intervention program
expenditures not reimbursable by the medical assistance program for
the latest twelve month period for which such data is available.

Section three amends subdivision 7 of section 2807-s of the public
health law by adding a new paragraph (d) that provides that funds
shall be added to the funds collected by the commissioner for
distribution in accordance with section 2807-o, in the amount of four
hundred million dollars for the period January 1, 2014 through
December 31, 2014.

Section four amends subdivision 1 of section 2557 of the public health
law, subdivision 1 as amended by section 4 of part C of chapter 1 of
the laws of 2002, to delete the reference to a plan of insurance so
that benefits under this title shall be considered secondary only to
any state government benefit Program under which an eligible child may
have coverage, and to delete the provision that nothing in this
section shall increase or enhance coverages provided for within an
insurance contract subject to the provisions of this title.

Section five amends section 2557 of the public health law by adding a
new subdivision 4 to require the commissioner to collect data, by
municipality, on the early intervention program for purposes of
improving the efficiency, cost effectiveness and quality of the


program. Data to be collected shall include the number of children
enrolled in the program, the number of state approved agencies and
organizations providing early intervention services by service
specialty and the number of state approved independent providers of
early intervention services by service specialty, the number of state
approved evaluators, the number of children covered by the medical
assistance program, the number of claims submitted to the medical
assistance program by municipality, the percentage claims denied by
medical assistance and the reasons for the denials. The commissioner
shall report for the period July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and for
each calendar year thereafter, to the Governor and the Legislature by
March 1 of each year the information and analysis required by this
section.

Section six amends subdivision 2 of section 2557 of the public health
law, as amended by section 9-a of part A of chapter 56 of the laws of
2012, to provide that the department shall reimburse the approved
costs paid by a municipality other than those reimbursable by the
medical assistance program, eliminating the exclusion of costs
reimbursable by third party payors.

Section seven amends the section heading of section 2559 of the public
health law, as added by chapter 428 of the laws of 1992, to eliminate
the reference to third party insurance.

Section eight amends subdivision 3 of section 2559 of the public
health law, as added by chapter 428 of the laws of 1992, paragraphs
(a), (c) and (d) as amended by section 11 of part A of chapter 56 of
the laws of 2012 and paragraph b as further amended by section 104 of
Part A of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, to provide that providers
shall first seek payment from the medical assistance program rather
than third party payors including governmental agencies, prior to
claiming payment from a municipality for services rendered, though not
when the insured is not eligible for medical assistance pursuant to
the social services law. Section eight also deletes paragraphs
(b)requiring the commissioner to promulgate regulations providing
public reimbursement for deductibles and copayments imposed under an
insurance policy or health benefit plan to the extent that such
deductibles and copayments are applicable to early intervention
services and (c) requiring that payments made for early intervention
services under an insurance policy or health benefit plan provided as
part of an IFS? shall not be applied against any maxi- mum lifetime or
annual limits specified in the policy or health benefits plan). In
addition, section eight provides that a municipality shall be
subrogated to the extent of its expenditures f or early intervention
services furnished to eligible persons to the rights such person may
have from the medical assistance program rather than from third party
reimbursement. Except as provided in this article, no third party
payor other than the medical assistance program shall be required to
reimburse for early intervention services.

Section nine provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

The early intervention program was established under the Public Health
Law and the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)


to enhance the development of infants and toddlers from birth to age
three who have a significant developmental delay or disability, as
well as enhance the capacity of families to meet their children's
special needs. The program seeks to identify and evaluate as early as
possible those infants and toddlers whose healthy development is
compromised and to provide for appropriate therapeutic and supportive
services.  With early intervention, we can reduce the number of
children with disabilities or reduce the severity of their disabling
conditions.  All early intervention (EI) services must be provided to
eligible children at no cost to their families. The HI program is
financed through a combination of state and county funds, Medicaid and
commercial insurance. Although Public Health Law and IDEA mandate that
public and private commercial insurance be maximized in financing EI
services, reimbursement from third party payors, other than Medicaid,
has been minimal, leaving the cost of this entitlement to be paid by
state and municipal tax dollars.

In 2005 an aggregate 893,000 claims were submitted to commercial
insurers; 70% of the claims were denied. Further, according to a
survey by the New York State Association of County Health Officials,
for the period July 2003 to June 2004, $75.5 million in claims for EI
services were filed with commercial insurers, of which $10.6 million,
or 14%, was paid. Counties, which are required by the state to finance
and administer the EI program, are entitled to be reimbursed by the
state for 50% of their unreimbursed costs for Ed services (36% for
administration costs). Counties have billed private insurers
approximately $100 million, overshadowing the aggregate costs billed
to Medicaid. The partial funding by the state, combined with the low
rate of recoupment from third party insurers, has required
municipalities to bear an estimated 43% of the costs of providing EI
services.

To require municipalities to bear such a significant portion of the
costs of the program where the number of children served as well as
the level of services provided continues to increase imposes a
significant strain on local budgets. In New York City alone, for the
last six months of 2005, an estimated $213.1 million was incurred for
EI services, of which $800,000 was paid by commercial insurance.
Whereas in 1993 to 1994, the first year the EI program became
effective, the costs of EI services for the entire state was $40
million. Since a substantial portion of municipal budgets must be
spent on EI services, municipalities must face a shrinking balance of
available funds, forcing them to decrease or eliminate altogether
other needed services.

Recognizing that the current structure of financing EI costs is
inadequate, this bill provides a different approach to funding. The
bill would set up a statewide pool from which municipalities would be
allocated funds to pay ET costs. By allowing for the direct allocation
of funds to municipalities from the statewide pool, we will eliminate
the unwieldy and inefficient step of requiring municipalities (in the
case where the insured is not eligible for medical assistance) to seek
reimbursement of EI costs first from third party insurers and then,
only upon denial or other disposition of the claim, from the state. In
cases where the insured is eligible for medical assistance,
municipalities will remain obligated to seek reimbursement first from
the medical assistance program.


Making funds readily available and streamlining the process by which
the funds are distributed to municipalities will provide vital relief
to the municipalities across the state that have been struggling to
finance the

EI program and thereby improve their ability to more effectively
administer EI services to children who need those services.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Approximately $100 million to the state.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect April 1, 2014.

services rendered to eligible children, provided that, the obligation to
seek  payment shall not apply [to a payment from a third party payor who
is not prohibited from  applying  such  payment,  and  will  apply  such
payment, to an annual or lifetime limit specified in the insured's poli-
cy] WHERE THE INSURED IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PURSUANT TO

gated, to the extent of the expenditures by  such  municipality  or  for
