From the NYS Dept of Health:
The Medicaid Redesign Team Website has been updated this week with the following items:
As a result of the numerous and extensive comments, the state asked for and received an extension of 30 days to file an official dual eligible demonstration proposal with CMS. The updated proposal includes significant modifications to the original proposal currently posted and is available at http://www.health.ny.gov/facilities/long_term_care/dual_elig.htm . Comments are due by May 17.
The MRT Final Report/Action Plan is now available on the MRT website (see page 18 for the Behavioral Health Services Overview): http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/
The MRT Project Management Plan with updates through 4/10 has been posted to the web – it can be found under Medicaid Redesign Team – Progress Updates on the MRT website: http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/ .
The MRT Global Cap announcement (http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/05012012Medicaid) was covered earlier this week in the Times Union: http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Medicaid-rolls-soar-costs-down-3526292.php#photo-2886530 .
