AI Summary

This bill provides increases in the rates of payment for certified home health agencies and directs the commissioner of health to establish minimum standards and a minimum benchmark for home care service payments by any Medicaid payor. Specifically, it amends the public health law to require a 10% increase in the base episodic payment and individual rates for services exempt from episodic payments starting in the rate year commencing April 1, 2022. It also authorizes the commissioner to increase the episodic payment level for certain cost increases, subject to approval by the state budget director. Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to establish minimum standards and a minimum benchmark for home care service payments by any Medicaid payor, which can also serve as a benchmark for non-Medicaid third-party payors to consider in their own payment rates.
