Bill > S05741

This bill amends the social services law to add a new section 367-j, which establishes coverage and safeguards for complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) in the Medicaid program. It defines key terms like "complex needs patient" and "qualified complex rehabilitation technology supplier," and requires the Commissioner of the Department of Health to maintain specific reimbursement and billing procedures to ensure adequate access to CRT for Medicaid recipients with complex medical needs. The bill also requires the Commissioner to monitor the addition of new Medicare billing codes for CRT and expeditiously incorporate them into the Medicaid program, and establishes requirements for reimbursement rates paid by managed care organizations.
