Bill > A07052

This bill establishes an incontinence supplies insurance program for Medicaid beneficiaries in New York State. The program will provide coverage for incontinence-related products such as protective underwear, wipes, bedding protection, cleaners, creams, lotions, bedpans, and urinals to individuals who meet specific eligibility criteria. To qualify, a person must be a Medicaid beneficiary, a New York State resident, and have a physician's note confirming their need for incontinence supplies. The program will include a maximum allowance of $80 every three months per eligible person, and the state's health commissioner is authorized to create regulations governing the program. Additionally, the regulations will include procedures for the state to recover benefits or payments made under the program if claims are submitted fraudulently or in violation of the program's rules. The bill will take effect 60 days after becoming law, with immediate authorization for developing necessary implementation regulations.
