Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to coverage for certain individuals under the 1332 state innovation program
AI Summary
This bill amends the Social Services Law to establish and expand the 1332 State Innovation Program, which provides health coverage for certain individuals in New York who are currently ineligible for other health insurance programs. The bill specifically targets individuals who are not eligible for Medicaid, Child Health Insurance Program, or employer-sponsored health insurance, with a focus on those with household incomes between 133% and 250% of the federal poverty line, including immigrants ineligible for basic health programs due to their immigration status. The program mandates that the Commissioner of Health establish a comprehensive healthcare plan that includes medical, dental, vision, and support services for functional limitations and chronic illnesses. Key provisions include continuous enrollment, affordable premium structures (up to $15 monthly for higher-income participants), no cost-sharing for certain services, and prioritization of enrollment based on income levels and health risks. The bill also requires annual reporting to the state legislature on the program's impact, including enrollment, financial implications, and demographic details. Notably, the Commissioner of Health is given flexibility to manage enrollment and seek federal approvals to ensure the program's financial sustainability while expanding healthcare access to vulnerable populations.
