AI Summary
This bill directs the New York State Department of Health to request guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to determine whether the state can claim federal financial participation for coverage and payment of certain prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat substance use and opioid use disorders. PDTs are new, software-based disease treatments that are designed and tested similarly to traditional prescription drugs. This legislation aims to accelerate access to these therapies for Medicaid enrollees in New York, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person treatment options have been limited.
