BILL NUMBER: S4972
SPONSOR: RIVERA
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Use contractual mechanisms to assure that Medicaid managed care plans
pass through in whole the money provided by the state to finance the
incremental advancements in minimum wage.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
The bill would add a new section 3614-f to the Public Health Law to
require Medicaid managed care plans to amend contracts with home care
providers (including consumer-directed personal assistance) 90 days
prior to the effective date of minimum wage mandates, and prohibit the
use of such funds to offset other debts owed to providers.
