Bill > A04232

This bill amends the social services law to establish new provisions related to coverage and billing procedures in the Medicaid program for complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) for patients with complex medical needs. It defines key terms such as "complex needs patient," "complex rehabilitation technology," and "qualified complex rehabilitation technology supplier," and requires the Medicaid commissioner to maintain specific reimbursement and billing procedures for CRT to ensure adequate access for complex needs patients. The bill also requires the commissioner to monitor and expeditiously incorporate new Medicare billing codes for CRT, and establishes requirements for managed care organizations when determining reimbursement rates for CRT.
