Bill > S05337

This bill amends a section of New York's public health law regarding payment rates for specific types of healthcare facilities, focusing on facilities that provide extensive nursing, medical, psychological, and counseling support services exclusively to children. The bill modifies how the non-capital component of payment rates are calculated for these facilities, ensuring that rates will continue to reflect those in effect on January 1, 2009, with adjustments for inflation and rate appeals. Additionally, the bill stipulates that these rates will now explicitly include the application of provisions from subdivision twenty-four of the referenced section. The modification appears to be a technical adjustment to ensure consistent and accurate rate calculations for specialized pediatric care facilities, maintaining their existing rate structure while providing clarity on the application of specific legal provisions. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
