cated to three decimals arrived at by
dividing the extraordinary needs percent
computed pursuant to paragraph w of subdi-

FTE shall be determined by multiplying the actual number of FTE

where average salaries that are 50 percent or less of those in
public school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor of

staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for payments to schools
providing special services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,

child care may be used for child care
assistance pursuant to title 5-C of arti-

funds that are to be available to social
services districts for child care assist-
ance shall be apportioned among the social
services districts by the office according
to the allocation plan developed by the
office and submitted to the director of

ity assistance transfers from a district's
flexible fund for family services allo-
cation to the state block grant for child
care at the district's request, for a
particular federal fiscal year is avail-
able only for child care assistance
expenditures made during that federal
fiscal year and which are claimed by March
31 of the year immediately following the
end of that federal fiscal year. Notwith-
standing any other provision of law, any
claims for child care assistance made by a
social services district for expenditures
made during a particular federal fiscal
year, other than claims made under title
XX of the federal social security act and
under the food stamp employment and train-
ing program, shall be counted against the
social services district's block grant
allocation for that federal fiscal year.
A social services district shall expend its
allocation from the block grant in accord-
ance with the applicable provisions in
federal law and regulations relating to
the federal funds included in the state
block grant for child care and the regu-
lations of the office of children and
family services. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, each district's claims
submitted under the state block grant for
child care will be processed in a manner
that maximizes the availability of federal
funds and ensures that the district meets
its maintenance of effort requirement in
each applicable federal fiscal year. Funds

pursuant to section 398-a of the social

salary and fringe benefit costs and other
critical nonpersonal services costs for
foster care programs as determined by the
office. Social services districts must
adjust the amount of payments made for

foster parents to reflect the cost of
living adjustments in the manner specified
by the office. Each authorized agency
operating a congregate care or foster
boarding home program in New York state
for which the office sets a maximum state
aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the

by the office, a written certification,
attesting that the funds received for the
continuation of the cost of living adjust-
ment to the maximum state aid rate that
became effective April 1, 2008 for that
program will be or were used solely in
accordance with the requirements of the
256 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
cost of living adjustment established by
the office. Notwithstanding any inconsist-
ent provision of law, including section 1
of part C of chapter 57 of the laws of
2006, as amended by section 1 of part I of
chapter 60 of the laws of 2014, for the
period commencing on April 1, 2016 and
ending March 31, 2017 the commissioner
shall apply a cost of living adjustment
for the purpose of establishing rates of
payments, contracts or any other form of
reimbursement.
Within the amounts appropriated herein,
state reimbursement to each social
services district for services identified
herein that are otherwise reimbursable by
the state from April 1, 2016 through March
31, 2017 shall be limited to a district
allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
district's block grant allocation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, such block grant allocation shall be
based, in part, on each district's claims
for such costs, adjusted by the applicable
cost allocation methodology and net of any
retroactive payments for the 12 month
period ending June 30, 2015 that are
submitted on or before January 4, 2016
and, in part, on such other factors as
determined by the office of children and
family services and approved by the direc-
tor of the budget. Any portion of a social
services district's allocation from funds
appropriated herein not claimed by such
district during the state fiscal year may
be used by such district for expenditures
on preventive services provided pursuant
to section 409-a of the social services
law, independent living services and
aftercare services provided pursuant to
regulations of the department of family
assistance, claimed by such district
during the next state fiscal year up to
the amount remaining from the district's
foster care block grant allocation,
provided however, that any claims for such
services during the next state fiscal year
in excess of such amount shall be subject
to 62 percent state reimbursement exclu-
sive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with
257 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
directives of the department of family
assistance and subject to the approval of
the director of the budget. Any claims
submitted by a social services district
for reimbursement for a particular state
fiscal year for which the social services
district does not receive state or federal
reimbursement during that state fiscal
year may not be claimed against that
district's block grant apportionment for
the next state fiscal year.
The office of children and family services,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share
decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care
services identified herein. The office,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share of
disallowances or sanctions taken against
the district pursuant to the social
services law or federal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the state shall not be responsible for
reimbursing a social services district and
a district shall not seek state reimburse-
ment for any portion of any state disal-
lowance or sanction taken against the
social services district, or any federal
disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on
or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
ance or sanction results from the failure
of the social services district to comply
with federal or state requirements,
including, but not limited to, failure to
document eligibility for federal or state
funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any
federal disallowance for services provided
between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999
results solely from the late enactment of
the state legislation implementing the
federal adoption and safe families act,
the state shall be solely responsible for
the full amount of the disallowance or
sanction; provided, further, however, this
provision shall be deemed to apply both
prospectively and retroactively regardless
258 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
of whether such sanctions or disallowances
are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2016.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
any federal disallowance resulting from a
federal title IV-E eligibility review or
audit that uses extrapolated statistic
techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services
districts that the office of children and
family services has determined have not
complied with the title IV-E eligibility
requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with
such requirements including, but not
limited to, failing to: assess and fully
document all the criteria and have readily
available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligi-
bility for all title IV-E eligible chil-
dren within the required time frames;
claim title IV-E funding only for cases
that meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
ity criteria; and fully implement the
social services payment system on or
before April 1, 2005 for all direct and
voluntary agency foster care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
office of children and family services
shall impose on social services districts
any federal disallowance issued against
the state as a result of a federal title
IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
less of the date the children may have
entered foster care, the date the eligi-
bility or payment errors occurred, or the
filing date of any federal claims for
reimbursement; provided, however, that the
state shall be responsible for the disal-
lowed costs and expenditures related to
the placement of children in a facility
operated by the office of children and
family services, which shall be determined
in the same manner as the disallowed costs
and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York.
In order to reimburse the federal govern-
ment for the full amount of any disallow-
ance imposed on the state by the federal
administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid
259 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
any potential interest payments on such
amount, the office of children and family
services is authorized to immediately
offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total
disallowed costs based on the percentage
of applicable federal title IV-E claims
made by that district for the relevant
time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
The amount of the offset against each
district will be adjusted, if necessary,
upon completion of the disallowance allo-
cation process. The final allocation of
the amount of any federal disallowance
resulting from a title IV-E secondary
eligibility review shall be allocated
among the districts so that each district
shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's
children or cases that are determined by
the federal review to be unallowable. Each
district shall also be responsible for a
portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
lowance amount based on the relative error
rate for the district. The city of New
York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For
all social services districts other than
the city of New York, the error rate will
be based on a review conducted by the
district of a sample of children and/or
cases determined by the office of children
and family services and a re-review of a
sub-sample by the office of those children
and/or cases determined by the office. The
office of children and family services
will determine what is reasonable in
establishing the size of the sample and
sub-sample for each district. The office
of children and family services shall
notify each social services district of
the sample of children and/or cases from
the federal audit period that the social
services district must review. Any child
or case from the social services district
that was included in the federal sample
will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample
and the determination made at the federal
review regarding that child or case will
260 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
govern for the purposes of the social
services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit
the results of its review to the office of
children and family services within 60
days of receipt of the sample. The error
rate for the district will be based on the
findings of the district's review and the
office of children and family services'
re-review. If a social services district
does not complete its review within 60
days of receiving the sample from the
office of children and family services,
the office of children and family services
shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative
percentage of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims for the relevant period
as compared to applicable statewide title
IV-E claims for that period and other
circumstances that the office of children
and family services may consider in order
to allocate 100 percent of the federal
disallowance. The office of children and
family services shall apply each social
services district's error rate to the
total amount of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims including associated
administrative expenses. The resulting
dollar amounts for all of the social
services districts will be summed to
derive the total amount of title IV-E
claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
establish a disallowance percentage for
each social services district, the amount
of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error will be divided by the
amount of statewide title IV-E claims
deemed to be in error. The resulting
disallowance percentage for each district
will be applied to the entire title IV-E
extrapolated disallowance calculated by
the federal review to determine the amount
of the extrapolated disallowance for which
the district is responsible. Each district
will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or
cases found to be in error during the
federal review. The exclusive appeal
rights for the review of the amount of the
federal disallowance assigned to each

to article 78 of the civil practice laws
and rules; provided, however, that in any
such action all of the social services
districts shall be joined as necessary
parties and the venue of any such action
shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social
services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time
frames shall have no right to appeal and
shall not be a necessary party to any
action brought by another social services
district.

499 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a monthly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation plan to limit such spending to
the aggregate limit specified herein for
such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
500 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but need provide a new notice
pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
graph only if the commissioner determines,
501 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
in his or her discretion, that such
revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to

sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget

of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
The money hereby appropriated is available
for payment of aid heretofore accrued to
municipalities, and to providers of
medical services pursuant to section 367-b
of the social services law, and shall be
available to the department net of disal-
lowances, refunds, reimbursements, and
credits.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the money hereby appropriated may be
increased or decreased by interchange,
with any appropriation of the department
of health, and may be increased or
decreased by transfer or suballocation
between these appropriated amounts and
appropriations of the office of mental
health, the office for people with devel-
opmental disabilities, the office of alco-
holism and substance abuse services, the
department of family assistance office of

office of children and family services
with the approval of the director of the
budget, who shall file such approval with
the department of audit and control and
copies thereof with the chairman of the
senate finance committee and the chairman
of the assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
505 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
506 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
507 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any co-insurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
508 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
509 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
510 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of
$180,024,000 in FY 2016-2017 and

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
515 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment

the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for

including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
516 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a

or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization

inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or

Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
518 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any co-insurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
520 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
521 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
522 12653-02-6

AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of
$180,024,000 in FY 2016-2017 and
$337,555,000 in FY 2017-2018 for local

five million unless the legislature has
enacted a chapter or chapters of law iden-
tical to legislation submitted by the
governor pursuant to article VII of the
New York constitution as Part A of legis-

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state

contrary, all medical assistance appropri-
ations made from this account shall remain
in full force and effect in accordance, in
the aggregate, with the following sched-
ule: not more than 49 percent for the

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state
finance law or any provision of law to the
contrary, subject to federal approval,
department of health state funds medicaid
spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental

and substance abuse services and further
excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of
health, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017,
shall not exceed $18,540,445,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $18,995,139,000, but in
no event shall department of health state
funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018
exceed $37,535,584,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, increases in provider reven-
ues, reductions in local social services
district payments for medical assistance
administration and beginning April 1, 2012
the operational costs of the New York
state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state
costs or savings from the basic health
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a monthly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
defined by the commissioner, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
525 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
526 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but need provide a new notice
pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
graph only if the commissioner determines,
in his or her discretion, that such
revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
527 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying or
discontinuing medicaid program benefits;
seeking all necessary federal approvals,
including, but not limited to waivers,
waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certif-
ication of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or
regulation to the contrary, including but
not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of
the public health law, section 18 of chap-
ter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR
505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
528 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of aid heretofore
accrued to municipalities, and to provid-
ers of medical services pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities and to providers of family care
where payment systems through the fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, and
shall be available to the department net
of disallowances, refunds, reimbursements,
and credits.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, funds may be used
by the department for outside legal
assistance on issues involving the federal
government, the conduct of preadmission
screening and annual resident reviews
required by the state's medicaid program,
computer matching with insurance carriers
to insure that medicaid is the payer of
last resort and activities related to the
management of the pharmacy benefit avail-
able under the medicaid program.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, in lieu of payments authorized by
the social services law, or payments of
federal funds otherwise due to the local

social services law pursuant to an esti-
mate provided by the commissioner of
health of each local social services
district's share of payments made pursuant
to section 367-b of the social services
law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the money hereby appropriated may be
increased or decreased by interchange,
with any appropriation of the department
of health and the office of medicaid
inspector general and may be increased or
decreased by transfer or suballocation
between these appropriated amounts and
appropriations of the department of health
state purpose account, the office of
mental health, office for people with
developmental disabilities, the office of
alcoholism and substance abuse services,
the department of family assistance office
of temporary and disability assistance and

the approval of the director of the budg-
et, who shall file such approval with the
department of audit and control and copies
thereof with the chairman of the senate
finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be used for payments to

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated
shall not be used for any existing rates,
fees, fee schedule, or procedures which
may affect the cost of care and services
provided by personal care providers, case
managers, health maintenance organiza-
tions, out of state medical facilities
which provide care and services to resi-
dents of the state, providers of transpor-
tation services, that are altered,
amended, adjusted or otherwise changed by
a local social services district unless
previously approved by the department of
health and the director of the budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, funds shall be
made available to the commissioner of the
office of mental health or the commission-
er of the office of alcoholism and
substance abuse services, in consultation
with the commissioner of health and
approved by the director of the budget,
and consistent with appropriations made
therefor, to implement allocation plans
developed by each such commissioner which
shall describe mental health or substance
use disorder services that should be
developed to meet service needs resulting
from the reduction of inpatient behavioral
health services provided under the medi-
caid program, by programs licensed pursu-
ant to article 31 or 32 of the mental
hygiene law. Such programs may include
programs that are licensed pursuant to
both article 31 of the mental hygiene law
and article 28 of the public health law,
or certified under both article 32 of the
mental hygiene law and article 28 of the
public health law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may
be available for payments associated with
the resolution by settlement agreement or

where the department of health is a party.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
531 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
532 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be

provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-

federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
535 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
amount of any coinsurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
536 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
537 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
538 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of

ant to article 31 or 32 of the mental
hygiene law. Such programs may include
programs that are licensed pursuant to
both article 31 of the mental hygiene law

or certified under both article 32 of the
mental hygiene law and article 28 of the
public health law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may
be available for payments associated with
the resolution by settlement agreement or

where the department of health is a party.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
549 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
550 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
551 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
552 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any co-insurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
553 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
554 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
555 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of

ule: not more than 49 percent for the
period April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017;
and the remaining amount for the period
April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state
finance law or any provision of law to the
contrary, subject to federal approval,
department of health state funds medicaid
spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental
disabilities and the office of alcoholism
and substance abuse services and further
excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of
health, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017,
shall not exceed $18,540,445,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $18,995,139,000, but in
no event shall department of health state
funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018
exceed $37,535,584,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, increases in provider reven-
ues, reductions in local social services
district payments for medical assistance
administration and beginning April 1, 2012
the operational costs of the New York
state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state
costs or savings from the basic health
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
561 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on monthly basis known and project-
ed medicaid expenditures by category of
service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation plan to limit such spending to
the aggregate limit specified herein for
such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
562 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but need provide a new notice
pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
graph only if the commissioner determines,
in his or her discretion, that such
revisions materially alter the plan.
563 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
564 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h). The
department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
565 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
566 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
567 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review Board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
568 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any co-insurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
569 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
570 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
571 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
572 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of
$180,024,000 in FY 2016-2017 and
$337,555,000 in FY 2017-2018 for local
administrative expenses for medical
assistance programs to a social services
district having a population of more than
five million unless the legislature has
enacted a chapter or chapters of law iden-
tical to legislation submitted by the
governor pursuant to article VII of the
New York constitution as Part A of legis-
lative bill numbers S. 6407/A. 9007.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities where payment systems through
fiscal intermediaries are not operational,
to reimburse such providers for costs
attributable to the provision of care to
patients eligible for medical assistance.
Payments from this appropriation to gener-
al hospitals related to indigent care
pursuant to article 28 of the public
health law respectively, when combined
with federal funds for services and
expenses for the medical assistance
program pursuant to title XIX of the
federal social security act or its succes-
sor program, shall equal the amount of the
funds received related to health care
reform act allowances and surcharges
pursuant to article 28 of the public
health law and deposited to this account
less any such amounts withheld pursuant to
subdivision 21 of section 2807-c of the
public health law. Notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision of law, the moneys

hereby appropriated may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with

exceed $37,535,584,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, increases in provider reven-
ues, reductions in local social services
district payments for medical assistance
administration and beginning April 1, 2012
the operational costs of the New York
state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state
costs or savings from the basic health
plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency. The director of the
budget, in consultation with the commis-
sioner of health, shall assess on a month-
ly basis known and projected medicaid
expenditures by category of service and by
geographic region, as determined by the
commissioner of health, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
575 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
576 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but need provide a new notice
pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
graph only if the commissioner determines,
in his or her discretion, that such
revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
577 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
578 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments, the
money hereby appropriated is available for
payment of aid heretofore accrued or here-
after accrued, to providers of medical
care pursuant to section 367-b of the
social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the feder-
al government where payment systems
through fiscal intermediaries are not
operational, to reimburse such providers
for costs attributable to the provision of
care to patients eligible for medical
assistance. Notwithstanding any inconsist-
ent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased
by interchange or transfer with any appro-
priation of the department of health with
the approval of the director of the budg-
et, who shall file such approval with the
department of audit and control and copies
thereof with the chairman of the senate
finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
579 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
580 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
and medicaid services to perform audits or
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
581 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
inconsistent with approved indications.
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
582 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any co-insurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
583 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
584 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
providers participating in the medical
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
585 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
586 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of
$180,024,000 in FY 2016-2017 and

contrary, subject to federal approval,

excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of

shall not exceed $18,540,445,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $18,995,139,000, but in
no event shall department of health state

April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018
exceed $37,535,584,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, increases in provider reven-
ues, reductions in local social services
district payments for medical assistance
administration and beginning April 1, 2012
the operational costs of the New York
state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state
costs or savings from the basic health
plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency. The director of the
budget, in consultation with the commis-
sioner of health, shall assess on monthly
basis known and projected medicaid expend-
itures by category of service and by
geographic region, as determined by the
commissioner of health, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
589 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
590 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but need provide a new notice
pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
graph only if the commissioner determines,
in his or her discretion, that such
revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
591 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
592 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities and the federal government where
payment systems through fiscal interme-
diaries are not operational, to reimburse
the provision of care to patients eligible
for medical assistance.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the department of health
shall develop a list of critical
prescription drugs for which there is a
significant public interest in ensuring
rational pricing by drug manufacturers. In
selecting drugs for possible inclusion in
such list, factors to be considered by the
department of health shall include, but
not be limited to: the seriousness and
prevalence of the disease or condition
that is treated by the drug; the extent of
utilization of the drug; the average
wholesale price and retail price of the
drug; the number of pharmaceutical
manufacturers that produce the drug;
whether there are pharmaceutical equiv-
alents to the drug; and the potential
impact of the cost of the drug on public
health care programs, including medicaid.
For each prescription drug included on the
critical prescription drug list, the
department of health shall require the
manufacturers of said prescription drug to
report: (a) the actual cost of developing,
593 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
manufacturing, producing (including the
cost per dose of production), and distrib-
uting such drug; (b) research and develop-
ment costs of the drug including payments
to predecessor entities conducting
research and development, including but
not limited to biotechnology companies,
universities and medical schools, and
private research institutions; (c) admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs and direct to consumer
marketing; (d) prices for the drug that
are charged to purchasers outside the
United States; (e) prices charged to typi-
cal purchasers in New York, including but
not limited to pharmacies, pharmacy
chains, pharmacy wholesalers or other
direct purchasers; (f) the average rebates
and discounts provided per payor type; (g)
the average profit margin of each drug
over the prior five year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug; and (h) clinical information
including but not limited to clinical
trials and clinical outcomes research. The
department of health shall develop a stan-
dard reporting form for the submission of
such information, and require manufactur-
ers to provide the required information
within ninety days of the department's
request. All such information disclosed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this
paragraph shall be confidential and shall
not be disclosed by the department of
health or its actuary in a form that
discloses the identity of a specific
manufacturer, or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out the requirements of
this paragraph, or to allow the department
of health, the attorney general, the state
comptroller, or the centers for medicare
and medicaid services to perform audits or
594 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
investigations authorized by law. For each
critical prescription drug identified by
the department of health, the department
shall direct its actuary to utilize the
information provided by manufacturers
pursuant to this paragraph to conduct a
value-based assessment of such drug and
establish a reasonable ceiling price. The
commissioner of health may require a drug
manufacturer to provide rebates to the
department for a critical prescription
drug whose price exceeds the ceiling price
for the drug established by the department
of health's actuary. Such rebates shall be
in addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. The
additional rebates authorized pursuant to
this paragraph shall apply to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance enrollees of managed care
providers pursuant to section 364-j of the
social services law and to critical
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
critical prescription drugs without
requiring additional rebates to be
provided, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require prior authorization under the
clinical drug review program for any drug,
prior to obtaining the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board, after considering: (a)
whether the drug requires monitoring of
prescribing protocols to protect both the
long-term efficacy of the drug and the
public health; (b) the potential for, or a
history of, overuse, abuse, drug diversion
or illegal utilization; and (c) the poten-
tial for, or a history of, utilization
inconsistent with approved indications.
595 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
Where the commissioner of health finds
that a drug meets at least one of these
criteria, in determining whether to make
the drug subject to prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program,
the commissioner of health shall consider
whether similarly effective alternatives
are available for the same disease state
and the effect of that availability or
lack of availability. The drug utilization
review board may recommend to the commis-
sioner of health that any prior authori-
zation requirement imposed pursuant to
this paragraph be modified, continued or
removed.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for drugs which
meet the criteria for prior authorization
under the clinical drug review program
until such time as the evaluation and
recommendation of the drug utilization
review board can be obtained, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. S 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. S
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
596 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
drugs other than single source drugs and
innovator multiple source drugs without
the receipt of additional rebates, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, if a health plan partic-
ipating in part C of title XVIII of the
federal social security act pays for items
and services provided to persons eligible
for medical assistance who are also bene-
ficiaries under part B of title XVIII of
the federal social security act and items
and services provided to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries under part B of title
XVIII of the federal social security act,
the amount payable for services under the
medical assistance program shall be the
amount of any coinsurance liability of
such eligible persons pursuant to federal
law if they were not eligible for medical
assistance or were not qualified medicare
beneficiaries with respect to such bene-
fits under such part B, but shall not
exceed the amount that otherwise would be
made under the medical assistance program
if provided to an eligible person who is
not a beneficiary under part B or a quali-
fied medicare beneficiary, less the amount
payable by the part C health plan;
provided, however, for items and services
provided to persons who are eligible for
medical assistance who are also benefici-
aries under part B or to qualified medi-
care beneficiaries by an ambulance service
under the authority of an operating
certificate issued pursuant to article 30
of the public health law, a psychologist
licensed under article 153 of the educa-
597 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
tion law, or a facility under the authori-
ty of an operating certificate issued
pursuant to article 16, 31 or 32 of the
mental hygiene law and with respect to
outpatient hospital and clinic items and
services provided by a facility under the
authority of an operating certificate
issued pursuant to article 28 of the
public health law, the amount payable
under the medical assistance program shall
not be less than the amount of any co-in-
surance liability of such eligible persons
or such qualified medicare beneficiaries,
or for which such eligible persons or such
qualified medicare beneficiaries would be
liable under federal law were they not
eligible for medical assistance or were
they not qualified medicare beneficiaries
with respect to such benefits under part
B.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to
provide medical assistance payments for
such coinsurance liability in situations
where the medical assistance payment
combined with the amount payable under
part B of title XVIII of the federal
social security act would exceed the
amount that otherwise would be made under
the medical assistance program if provided
to an eligible person other than a person
who is also a beneficiary under part B or
is a qualified medicare beneficiary, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the commissioner of health
shall require managed care providers
participating in the medical assistance
program to require prior authorization of
prescriptions issued to medical assistance
recipients of opioid analgesics in excess
of four prescriptions in a thirty-day
period.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to pay for the cost of
managed care premiums to managed care
providers participating in the medical
598 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
assistance program without requiring prior
authorization of prescriptions of opioid
analgesics in excess of four prescriptions
in a thirty-day period, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
medical assistance to be furnished in
situations in which a responsible relative
who is not absent from the household fails
or refuses to provide necessary care and
assistance, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2016.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2016 through
March 31, 2018, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
599 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final.
In addition, managed care providers partic-
ipating in the medical assistance program
shall be required to cover non-formulary
drugs for medical assistance recipients
only if such drugs are in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes and if the prescriber, after
consulting with the managed care provider,
demonstrates that such drugs, in the
prescriber's reasonable professional judg-
ment, are medically necessary and
warranted.
Provided, however, if this chapter appropri-
ates sufficient additional funds to allow
the medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
600 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2016-17
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2016.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, this appropriation shall not be
available for reimbursement of
$180,024,000 in FY 2016-2017 and
$337,555,000 in FY 2017-2018 for local

provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2016 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2017,
shall not exceed [$18,720,468,000] $18,540,445,000, but in no event
shall department of health state funds medicaid spending for the
period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 exceed
[$36,658,335,000] $36,478,312,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance
percentage amount established pursuant to the federal social securi-
ty act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in local social
services district payments for medical assistance administration and
beginning April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state
medical indemnity fund, pursuant to [a] chapter [establishing such
fund] 59 OF THE LAWS OF 2011, and state costs or savings from the
[basic health plan program] ESSENTIAL PLAN. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
mental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget, in
consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on a
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
sioner of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such
assessment for each such period, and if the director of the budget
determines that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
with the director of the budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such
spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
617 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2016-17
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this [paragraph] SUBDIVISION if, in the discretion
of the commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a
medicaid savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
618 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2016-17
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.
The money hereby appropriated is available for payment of aid hereto-
fore accrued to municipalities, and to providers of medical services
pursuant to section 367-b of the social services law, and shall be

ated may be increased or decreased by interchange, with any appro-
priation of the department of health, and may be increased or

for the period April 1, 2016 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2017,
shall not exceed [$18,720,468,000] $18,540,445,000, but in no event
shall department of health state funds medicaid spending for the
period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 exceed
[$36,658,335,000] $36,478,312,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance
percentage amount established pursuant to the federal social securi-
ty act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in local social
services district payments for medical assistance administration and
beginning April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the New York state
medical indemnity fund, pursuant to [a] chapter [establishing such
fund] 59 OF THE LAWS OF 2011, and state costs or savings from the
[basic health plan program] ESSENTIAL PLAN. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
mental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget, in
consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on a
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as defined by the commissioner,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to such assessment for each
such period, and if the director of the budget determines that such
expenditures are expected to cause medicaid spending for such period
to exceed the aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the
state medicaid director, in consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid
savings allocation plan to limit such spending to the aggregate
limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
627 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2016-17
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the states.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this [paragraph] SUBDIVISION if, in the discretion
of the commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a
medicaid savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health
emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
628 12653-02-6
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2016-17
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying or discontinuing medi-
caid program benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,
including, but not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and
suspending time frames for notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regu-
lation to the contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807
and 3614 of the public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.
The money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of aid
heretofore accrued to municipalities, and to providers of medical
services pursuant to section 367-b of the social services law, and

caid program, computer matching with insurance carriers to insure

[$36,658,335,000] $36,478,312,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance

and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for

sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.

such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-

provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h). The department of health shall prepare a monthly
report that sets forth: (a) known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in subdivision (1) of this
section, and factors that could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed the projected department of
health state funds disbursements in the enacted budget financial
plan pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance
law, including spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments,
and shift of beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in
offline medicaid payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement
any medicaid savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdi-
vision (4) of this section, including information concerning the
impact of such actions on each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such monthly report shall be

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2016-17
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all

fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the federal government where payment
systems through fiscal intermediaries are not operational, to reim-
burse the provision of care to patients eligible for medical assist-
ance.

replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this item covering
fiscal year 2015-16, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering
