Bill > A00957

This bill amends the New York Social Services Law to ensure that medical services provided in school-based health centers are not delivered through managed care programs. Specifically, the legislation requires that services from school-based health centers for medical assistance recipients (individuals receiving Medicaid) be provided outside of managed care programs. School-based health centers are medical facilities located within schools that provide healthcare services to students and sometimes the broader community. The bill will take effect immediately and be considered in full force as of April 1, 2025. By removing school-based health center services from managed care programs, the bill aims to potentially provide more direct and flexible healthcare access for medical assistance recipients in school settings, though the precise rationale for this change is not explicitly stated in the bill text.
