Bill > A09471

This bill modifies existing law to allow non-public residential health care facilities to withdraw up to five percent of their total reported annual revenue for patient care services without needing prior notification to the commissioner of health, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include demonstrating compliance with minimum staffing levels for the two preceding quarters for which data is available, not being in a special focus facility program or subject to a payment denial by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and not having faced enforcement actions from the Department of Health or CMS in the past eighteen months that resulted in a deficiency finding. The bill also clarifies the effective date of these changes, aligning them with a related 2025 law concerning equity withdrawals.
