 BILL NUMBER:  S7689

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the membership
of the early intervention coordinating council

 PURPOSE :

To add representatives of managed care plans or managed care plan
trade associations who work in the early intervention field as members
of the early intervention coordinating council.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1: Amends subdivision 1 of section 2553 of the public health
law in order to add three representatives from managed care or managed
care trade associations who work in the early intervention field as
members of the early intervention coordinating council.

Section 2: Provides the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The Assembly Oversight, Analysis and Investigation Committee and the
Health Committee hosted a roundtable discussion to gather insight on

the experiences and challenges of the Early Intervention Program's
fiscal agent system. Representatives of the fiscal agent, EI providers
and provider associations, county and New York City health officials,
and other stakeholders came to the table to share their perspectives
and recommendations about the program and the fiscal agent system. One
of the recommendations that was made was to provide a mechanism to
open the public dialogue between managed care plans, early
intervention providers, and the Department of Health. One way to do
this would be to have representatives from managed care plans be
members of the Early Intervention Coordinating Council. This would
provide managed care plans and trade associations, who are an
important stakeholder, the opportunity to hear the experiences and
concerns of providers, as well as give them a voice at the table to
respond, in order to help make the reimbursement system operate more
effectively.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None to the state.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
On the one hundred eightieth day after enactment.
