Bill > S07569

This bill amends the social services law to add a new section 367-j, which relates to coverage and billing procedures in the Medicaid program for complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) for patients with complex medical needs. The bill defines key terms, such as "complex needs patient," "complex rehabilitation technology," and "qualified complex rehabilitation technology supplier." It requires the Medicaid commissioner to maintain specific reimbursement and billing procedures for CRT to ensure adequate access for complex needs patients and take into account the resources required. The bill also requires the commissioner to monitor the addition of new billing codes for CRT by Medicare and expeditiously incorporate them into Medicaid, and to establish minimum benchmark reimbursement rates to be paid by Medicaid managed care organizations for CRT.
