Bill > A05511

This bill provides a specific Medicaid reimbursement rate enhancement for Valley Health Services, which is part of the Bassett Healthcare Network. The bill allows the healthcare facility to receive an additional $500,000 annually, net of any Medicaid reimbursement rate reductions, for a 30-year period from April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2057. This enhancement is designed to be supplemental to the existing reimbursement costs outlined in section 2808 of the public health law and any other applicable laws or regulations. In other words, the $500,000 is meant to be extra funding on top of the standard Medicaid reimbursement rates, providing financial support specifically to this healthcare network. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, and it amends a previous law from 2007 related to Medicaid nursing home capital reimbursement.
