AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing one or more demonstration projects that permit a managed long-term care plan to enroll persons that are permanently placed in a nursing home and to manage the nursing home benefit in one or more rural areas

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the state to conduct one or more pilot programs, called demonstration projects, that would allow managed long-term care plans to enroll individuals who are permanently residing in nursing homes and to oversee the nursing home services provided in rural areas. A managed long-term care plan is a type of health insurance that coordinates long-term care services for individuals. The purpose of these projects is to study how managed care models can help nursing home residents who are permanently placed there to transition back to living in the community. The bill also clarifies that these new provisions do not change any existing requirements for these plans and will expire or be repealed along with related existing laws.
