Bill > S05150

This bill amends the public health law to clarify and modify regulations surrounding temporary health care services agencies and their personnel. It defines "temporary services" as health care services contracted for an initial term of less than twenty-four continuous months, and explicitly excludes physicians from the definition of health care personnel. The bill requires temporary health care services agencies to annually submit copies of all contracts and invoices to the Department of Health, with executed contracts to be sent within five business days of their effective date. Additionally, the legislation modifies provisions related to hiring temporary workers, allowing health care entities to contractually agree to reimburse agencies for reasonable placement costs if a temporary worker is hired permanently. The bill also changes reporting requirements, shifting from quarterly to annual reporting of charges, compensation, hourly bill rates, administrative charges, and personnel compensation schedules. These changes aim to provide more transparency and regulate the temporary health care services industry, ensuring clear guidelines for agencies, health care entities, and personnel.
