Bill > A09509

This bill requires the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) and the Office of Mental Health (OMH) to publish information that allows for the calculation of rates paid for certain treatment services under the medical assistance program, which is a government program providing health coverage to low-income individuals. This information will be provided in a format determined by the commissioners of OASAS or OMH, as applicable, and is intended to ensure that insurers reimburse providers at a minimum rate equivalent to what the medical assistance program would pay. The bill amends existing insurance laws to reflect this change, specifically impacting outpatient, intensive outpatient, and opioid treatment services provided by facilities licensed or certified by OASAS or OMH, or by crisis stabilization centers. The effective date of these provisions is tied to the effective date of a related 2025 law concerning rehabilitation and opioid treatment rates.
