     3      teachers  providing  classroom instruction at each school, as deter-
     4      mined  by the commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for those schools
     5      where average salaries that are 50  percent  or  less  of  those  in
     6      public  school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor of
     7      1.5 for those schools where average salaries that are 50 percent and
     8      75 percent of public schools located in the same geographic  region;
     9      or  3)  a factor of 1.0 for those schools where the average salaries
    10      that are 75-100 percent  of  public  schools  located  in  the  same
    11      geographic  region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be calcu-
    12      lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
    13      staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for  payments  to  schools
    14      providing  special  services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,

     1    techniques shall be passed  along  by  the
     2    state  to  any  and  all  social  services
     3    districts that the office of children  and
     4    family  services  has  determined have not
     5    complied with the title  IV-E  eligibility
     6    requirements  or have not taken the neces-
     7    sary actions  to  ensure  compliance  with
     8    such   requirements   including,  but  not
     9    limited to, failing to: assess  and  fully
    10    document all the criteria and have readily
    11    available  all  the necessary documents to
    12    establish and continue title  IV-E  eligi-
    13    bility  for  all title IV-E eligible chil-
    14    dren  within  the  required  time  frames;
    15    claim  title  IV-E  funding only for cases
    16    that meet all of the title IV-E  eligibil-
    17    ity  criteria;  and  fully  implement  the
    18    social  services  payment  system  on   or
    19    before  April  1,  2005 for all direct and
    20    voluntary agency foster care services.
    21  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
    22    office of  children  and  family  services
    23    shall  impose on social services districts
    24    any federal  disallowance  issued  against
    25    the  state  as a result of a federal title
    26    IV-E secondary eligibility review  regard-
    27    less  of  the  date  the children may have
    28    entered foster care, the date  the  eligi-
    29    bility  or payment errors occurred, or the
    30    filing date  of  any  federal  claims  for
    31    reimbursement; provided, however, that the
    32    state  shall be responsible for the disal-
    33    lowed costs and  expenditures  related  to
    34    the  placement  of  children in a facility
    35    operated by the  office  of  children  and
    36    family services, which shall be determined
    37    in the same manner as the disallowed costs
    38    and   expenditures   for  social  services
    39    districts other than the city of New York.
    40    In order to reimburse the federal  govern-
    41    ment  for the full amount of any disallow-
    42    ance imposed on the state by  the  federal
    43    administration  for  children and families
    44    within the timeframes necessary  to  avoid
    45    any  potential  interest  payments on such
    46    amount, the office of children and  family
    47    services   is  authorized  to  immediately
    48    offset  funds  otherwise   due   to   each
    49    district for a pro rata share of the total
    50    disallowed  costs  based on the percentage
    51    of applicable federal  title  IV-E  claims

                                           268                        20001-02-5

     1    made  by  that  district  for the relevant
     2    time  period  as  compared  to  the  total
     3    applicable  statewide  title  IV-E claims.
     4    The  amount  of  the  offset  against each
     5    district will be adjusted,  if  necessary,
     6    upon  completion of the disallowance allo-
     7    cation process. The  final  allocation  of
     8    the  amount  of  any  federal disallowance
     9    resulting  from  a  title  IV-E  secondary
    10    eligibility   review  shall  be  allocated
    11    among the districts so that each  district
    12    shall   be   responsible  for  the  amount
    13    attributable to  each  of  the  district's
    14    children  or  cases that are determined by
    15    the federal review to be unallowable. Each
    16    district shall also be responsible  for  a
    17    portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
    18    lowance amount based on the relative error
    19    rate  for  the  district.  The city of New
    20    York's error rate will  be  based  on  the
    21    federal sample and federal statistics. For
    22    all  social  services districts other than
    23    the city of New York, the error rate  will
    24    be  based  on  a  review  conducted by the
    25    district of a sample  of  children  and/or
    26    cases determined by the office of children
    27    and  family  services and a re-review of a
    28    sub-sample by the office of those children
    29    and/or cases determined by the office. The
    30    office of  children  and  family  services
    31    will   determine  what  is  reasonable  in
    32    establishing the size of  the  sample  and
    33    sub-sample  for  each district. The office
    34    of  children  and  family  services  shall
    35    notify  each  social  services district of
    36    the sample of children and/or  cases  from
    37    the  federal  audit period that the social
    38    services district must review.  Any  child
    39    or  case from the social services district
    40    that was included in  the  federal  sample
    41    will  automatically  be  included  in  the
    42    social services district's  review  sample
    43    and  the determination made at the federal
    44    review regarding that child or  case  will
    45    govern  for  the  purposes  of  the social
    46    services  district's  review.  The  social
    47    services district must complete and submit
    48    the results of its review to the office of
    49    children  and  family  services  within 60
    50    days of receipt of the sample.  The  error
    51    rate for the district will be based on the

                                           269                        20001-02-5

     1    findings  of the district's review and the
     2    office of children  and  family  services'
     3    re-review.  If  a social services district
     4    does  not  complete  its  review within 60
     5    days of  receiving  the  sample  from  the
     6    office  of  children  and family services,
     7    the office of children and family services
     8    shall assign an error rate to  the  social
     9    services  district  based  on the relative
    10    percentage of  the  district's  applicable
    11    title  IV-E claims for the relevant period
    12    as compared to applicable statewide  title
    13    IV-E  claims  for  that  period  and other
    14    circumstances that the office of  children
    15    and  family services may consider in order
    16    to allocate 100  percent  of  the  federal
    17    disallowance.  The  office of children and
    18    family services shall  apply  each  social
    19    services  district's  error  rate  to  the
    20    total amount of the district's  applicable
    21    title  IV-E  claims  including  associated
    22    administrative  expenses.  The   resulting
    23    dollar  amounts  for  all  of  the  social
    24    services  districts  will  be  summed   to
    25    derive  the  total  amount  of  title IV-E
    26    claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
    27    establish a  disallowance  percentage  for
    28    each  social services district, the amount
    29    of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
    30    to be in error  will  be  divided  by  the
    31    amount  of  statewide  title  IV-E  claims
    32    deemed  to  be  in  error.  The  resulting
    33    disallowance  percentage for each district
    34    will be applied to the entire  title  IV-E
    35    extrapolated  disallowance  calculated  by
    36    the federal review to determine the amount
    37    of the extrapolated disallowance for which
    38    the district is responsible. Each district
    39    will be credited for  the  amount  already
    40    disallowed  for any individual children or
    41    cases found to  be  in  error  during  the
    42    federal   review.   The  exclusive  appeal
    43    rights for the review of the amount of the
    44    federal  disallowance  assigned  to   each
    45    social services district shall be pursuant
    46    to  article  78 of the civil practice laws
    47    and rules; provided, however, that in  any
    48    such  action  all  of  the social services
    49    districts shall  be  joined  as  necessary
    50    parties  and  the venue of any such action
    51    shall be in Rensselaer county. Any  social

     1      Each  authorized agency operating a congregate care or foster board-
     2      ing home program in New York state for which the office sets a maxi-
     3      mum state aid rate pursuant to section 398-a of the social  services
     4      law  or  section  4003 or 4405 of the education law shall submit, at
     5      the time and in a manner to be determined by the office,  a  written
     6      certification,  attesting  that the funds received for the continua-
     7      tion of the cost of living adjustment to the maximum state aid  rate
     8      that became effective April 1, 2008 for that program will be or were
     9      used  solely  in  accordance  with  the  requirements of the cost of
    10      living adjustment established by  the  office.  Notwithstanding  any
    11      inconsistent  provision  of  law,  including  section 1 of part C of
    12      chapter 57 of the laws of 2006, as amended by section 1 of part N of
    13      chapter 56 of the laws of 2013, for the period commencing  on  April
    14      1,  2014  and ending March 31, 2015 the commissioner shall not apply
    15      any cost of living adjustment for the purpose of establishing  rates
    16      of payments, contracts or any other form of reimbursement.
    17    Within  the  amounts  appropriated herein, state reimbursement to each
    18      social services district for services  identified  herein  that  are
    19      otherwise reimbursable by the state from April 1, 2014 through March
    20      31,  2015  shall  be  limited  to a district allocation, hereinafter
    21      referred to as the district's block grant allocation.  Notwithstand-
    22      ing any other provision of law, such block grant allocation shall be
    23      based, in part, on each district's claims for such  costs,  adjusted
    24      by  the applicable cost allocation methodology and net of any retro-
    25      active payments for the 12 month period ending June  30,  2013  that
    26      are  submitted  on  or  before January 2, 2014 and, in part, on such
    27      other factors as determined by the office  of  children  and  family
    28      services  and approved by the director of the budget. Any portion of
    29      a social services  district's  allocation  from  funds  appropriated
    30      herein not claimed by such district during the state fiscal year may
    31      be  used  by  such  district for expenditures on preventive services
    32      provided pursuant to section 409-a of the social services law, inde-
    33      pendent living services and aftercare services provided pursuant  to
    34      regulations  of the department of family assistance, claimed by such
    35      district during the next state fiscal year up to the amount  remain-
    36      ing from the district's foster care block grant allocation, provided
    37      however,  that  any  claims  for such services during the next state
    38      fiscal year in excess of such amount shall be subject to 62  percent
    39      state  reimbursement  exclusive  of any federal funds made available
    40      for such purposes, in accordance with directives of  the  department
    41      of  family assistance and subject to the approval of the director of
    42      the budget. Any claims submitted by a social services  district  for
    43      reimbursement  for  a  particular  state  fiscal  year for which the
    44      social  services  district  does  not  receive  state   or   federal
    45      reimbursement  during  that  state  fiscal  year  may not be claimed
    46      against that district's block grant apportionment for the next state
    47      fiscal year.
    48    The office of children and family services, with the approval  of  the
    49      director  of  the  budget, may reduce a district's block grant allo-
    50      cation by the state share decrease related  to  federal  retroactive
    51      reimbursement  for  such foster care services identified herein. The

                                           329                        20001-02-5

     1      office, with the approval of the director of the budget, may  reduce
     2      a  district's block grant allocation by the state share of disallow-
     3      ances or sanctions taken against the district pursuant to the social
     4      services law or federal law.
     5    Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of law, the state shall not be
     6      responsible  for  reimbursing  a  social  services  district  and  a
     7      district  shall  not seek state reimbursement for any portion of any
     8      state disallowance or sanction taken  against  the  social  services
     9      district,  or any federal disallowance attributable to final federal
    10      agency decisions or to settlement made, on or after  July  1,  1995,
    11      when  such  disallowance or sanction results from the failure of the
    12      social services district to comply with federal  or  state  require-
    13      ments,  including, but not limited to, failure to document eligibil-
    14      ity for federal or state funds in the case record; provided,  howev-
    15      er,  if  the  office  determines  that  any federal disallowance for
    16      services provided between January 1, 1999 and May 31,  1999  results
    17      solely from the late enactment of the state legislation implementing
    18      the federal adoption and safe families act, the state shall be sole-
    19      ly  responsible for the full amount of the disallowance or sanction;
    20      provided, further, however, this provision shall be deemed to  apply
    21      both  prospectively  and  retroactively  regardless  of whether such
    22      sanctions or disallowances are for services provided or claims  made
    23      prior to or after April 1, 2014.
    24    Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law, any federal disallowance
    25      resulting from a federal title IV-E eligibility review or audit that
    26      uses extrapolated statistic techniques shall be passed along by  the
    27      state  to  any  and all social services districts that the office of
    28      children and family services has determined have not  complied  with
    29      the title IV-E eligibility requirements or have not taken the neces-
    30      sary  actions to ensure compliance with such requirements including,
    31      but not limited to, failing to: assess and fully  document  all  the
    32      criteria  and  have readily available all the necessary documents to
    33      establish and continue title IV-E eligibility  for  all  title  IV-E
    34      eligible  children within the required time frames; claim title IV-E
    35      funding only for cases that meet all of the title  IV-E  eligibility
    36      criteria;  and fully implement the social services payment system on
    37      or before April 1, 2005 for all direct and voluntary  agency  foster
    38      care services.
    39    Notwithstanding  any  law  to the contrary, the office of children and
    40      family services shall impose on social services districts any feder-
    41      al disallowance issued against the state as a result  of  a  federal
    42      title  IV-E  secondary eligibility review regardless of the date the
    43      children may have entered foster care, the date the  eligibility  or
    44      payment  errors  occurred,  or the filing date of any federal claims
    45      for reimbursement;  provided,  however,  that  the  state  shall  be
    46      responsible for the disallowed costs and expenditures related to the
    47      placement  of children in a facility operated by the office of chil-
    48      dren and family services, which shall  be  determined  in  the  same
    49      manner  as the disallowed costs and expenditures for social services
    50      districts other than the city of New York. In order to reimburse the
    51      federal government for the full amount of any  disallowance  imposed

                                           330                        20001-02-5

     1      on the state by the federal administration for children and families
     2      within  the  timeframes  necessary  to  avoid any potential interest
     3      payments on such amount, the office of children and family  services
     4      is  authorized  to  immediately  offset  funds otherwise due to each
     5      district for a pro rata share of the total disallowed costs based on
     6      the percentage of applicable federal title IV-E claims made by  that
     7      district  for  the  relevant  time  period  as compared to the total
     8      applicable statewide title IV-E claims. The  amount  of  the  offset
     9      against   each   district  will  be  adjusted,  if  necessary,  upon
    10      completion of the disallowance allocation process.  The final  allo-
    11      cation  of  the  amount of any federal disallowance resulting from a
    12      title IV-E secondary eligibility review shall be allocated among the
    13      districts so that each district shall be responsible for the  amount
    14      attributable  to  each  of the district's children or cases that are
    15      determined by the federal review to be  unallowable.  Each  district
    16      shall  also be responsible for a portion of the federal extrapolated
    17      disallowance amount  based  on  the  relative  error  rate  for  the
    18      district.  The  city  of  New York's error rate will be based on the
    19      federal sample and  federal  statistics.  For  all  social  services
    20      districts  other  than  the city of New York, the error rate will be
    21      based on a review conducted by the district of a sample of  children
    22      and/or  cases  determined  by  the  office  of  children  and family
    23      services and a re-review of a sub-sample  by  the  office  of  those
    24      children  and/or cases determined by the office. The office of chil-
    25      dren and family services will determine what is reasonable in estab-
    26      lishing the size of the sample and sub-sample for each district. The
    27      office of children and family  services  shall  notify  each  social
    28      services  district  of  the sample of children and/or cases from the
    29      federal audit period that the social services district must  review.
    30      Any  child  or  case  from  the  social  services  district that was
    31      included in the federal sample will automatically be included in the
    32      social services district's review sample and the determination  made
    33      at  the  federal review regarding that child or case will govern for
    34      the purposes of the social services district's  review.  The  social
    35      services district must complete and submit the results of its review
    36      to  the  office  of  children  and family services within 60 days of
    37      receipt of the sample. The error rate for the district will be based
    38      on the findings of the district's review and the office of  children
    39      and  family  services' re-review. If a social services district does
    40      not complete its review within 60 days of receiving the sample  from
    41      the  office  of children and family services, the office of children
    42      and family services  shall  assign  an  error  rate  to  the  social
    43      services district based on the relative percentage of the district's
    44      applicable  title IV-E claims for the relevant period as compared to
    45      applicable statewide title IV-E claims for  that  period  and  other
    46      circumstances  that  the  office of children and family services may
    47      consider in order to allocate 100 percent of the  federal  disallow-
    48      ance.  The  office  of children and family services shall apply each
    49      social services district's error rate to the  total  amount  of  the
    50      district's  applicable title IV-E claims including associated admin-
    51      istrative expenses. The resulting dollar  amounts  for  all  of  the

                                           331                        20001-02-5

     1      social  services districts will be summed to derive the total amount
     2      of title IV-E claims deemed to be in error statewide. To establish a
     3      disallowance percentage  for  each  social  services  district,  the
     4      amount  of  the  district's  title IV-E claims deemed to be in error
     5      will be divided by the amount of statewide title IV-E claims  deemed
     6      to  be  in  error.  The  resulting  disallowance percentage for each
     7      district will be applied  to  the  entire  title  IV-E  extrapolated
     8      disallowance  calculated  by  the  federal  review  to determine the
     9      amount of the extrapolated disallowance for which  the  district  is
    10      responsible.  Each  district will be credited for the amount already
    11      disallowed for any individual children or cases found to be in error
    12      during the federal review.  The  exclusive  appeal  rights  for  the
    13      review  of  the  amount of the federal disallowance assigned to each
    14      social services district shall be pursuant  to  article  78  of  the
    15      civil  practice  laws and rules; provided, however, that in any such
    16      action all of the social  services  districts  shall  be  joined  as
    17      necessary parties and the venue of any such action shall be in Rens-
    18      selaer  county.  Any social services district that fails to complete
    19      its sample review in the required time frames shall have no right to
    20      appeal and shall not be a necessary party to any action  brought  by
    21      another social services district.
    22    The  money hereby appropriated is to be available for payment of state
    23      aid heretofore accrued or hereafter  to  accrue  to  municipalities.
    24      Subject  to  the  approval  of the director of the budget, the money
    25      hereby appropriated shall be available to the office net  of  disal-
    26      lowances, refunds, reimbursements, and credits.
    27    Notwithstanding  any  inconsistent provision of law, the amount herein
    28      appropriated may be transferred to any  other  appropriation  within
    29      the  office  of  children  and  family services and/or the office of
    30      temporary and  disability  assistance  and/or  suballocated  to  the
    31      office  of  temporary  and  disability assistance for the purpose of
    32      paying local social services districts' costs of the  above  program
    33      and  may  be  increased  or  decreased by interchange with any other
    34      appropriation or with any other item or  items  within  the  amounts

    39      the senate finance committee and the chairman of the  assembly  ways
    40      and means committee.

     8      directly by social services districts by  direct  deposit  or  debit
     9      card. Local social services districts shall reimburse the office for

    11      payments.
    12    Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of the social services  law
    13      or the state finance law, the office of children and family services

    16      ly services for the non-federal share of the costs of  administering
    17      such  direct  deposit  or  debit  card payments to capture the local
    18      share of such costs.
    19    Notwithstanding any other provision  of  law,  if  a  social  services
    20      district  fails  to  provide reimbursement to the office of children

     1    determined by the commissioner of  health,
     2    incurred  both  prior to and subsequent to
     3    such assessment for each such period,  and
     4    if  the  director of the budget determines
     5    that such  expenditures  are  expected  to
     6    cause medicaid spending for such period to
     7    exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
     8    in  for  such  period,  the state medicaid
     9    director, in consultation with the  direc-
    10    tor  of the budget and the commissioner of
    11    health, shall develop a  medicaid  savings
    12    allocation  plan to limit such spending to
    13    the aggregate limit specified  herein  for
    14    such period.
    15  Such  medicaid savings allocation plan shall
    16    be designed, to  reduce  the  expenditures
    17    authorized by the appropriations herein in
    18    compliance  with the following guidelines:
    19    (1) reductions shall be made in compliance
    20    with applicable federal law, including the
    21    provisions of the Patient  Protection  and
    22    Affordable  Care Act, Public Law No.  111-
    23    148, and the  Health  Care  and  Education
    24    Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
    25    111-152   (collectively  "Affordable  Care
    26    Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
    27    to or regulations promulgated  thereunder;
    28    (2)  reductions  shall be made in a manner
    29    that complies with the state medicaid plan
    30    approved by the federal centers for  medi-
    31    care   and  medicaid  services,  provided,
    32    however, that the commissioner  of  health
    33    is  authorized  to  submit  any state plan
    34    amendment or seek other federal  approval,
    35    including  waiver  authority, to implement
    36    the provisions  of  the  medicaid  savings
    37    allocation   plan  that  meets  the  other
    38    criteria set forth herein; (3)  reductions
    39    shall  be  made in a manner that maximizes
    40    federal financial  participation,  to  the
    41    extent  practicable, including any federal
    42    financial participation that is  available
    43    or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    44    able, in the discretion of the commission-
    45    er,  under  the  Affordable  Care Act; (4)
    46    reductions shall be made  uniformly  among
    47    categories   of  services  and  geographic
    48    regions of the state, to the extent  prac-
    49    ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
    50    in  a  category  of service, to the extent
    51    practicable, except where the commissioner
    52    determines  that  there   are   sufficient

     1    grounds  for non-uniformity, including but
     2    not  limited  to:  the  extent  to   which
     3    specific  categories  of services contrib-
     4    uted  to  department  of  health  medicaid
     5    state funds  spending  in  excess  of  the
     6    limits specified herein; the need to main-
     7    tain  safety  net  services in underserved
     8    communities; or the potential benefits  of
     9    pursuing innovative payment models contem-
    10    plated  by  the  Affordable  Care  Act, in
    11    which case such grounds shall be set forth
    12    in the medicaid savings  allocation  plan;
    13    and  (5)  reductions  shall  be  made in a
    14    manner that does not unnecessarily  create
    15    administrative  burdens to medicaid appli-
    16    cants and recipients or providers.
    17  The commissioner shall seek the input of the
    18    legislature,  as  well  as   organizations
    19    representing    health   care   providers,
    20    consumers,  businesses,  workers,   health
    21    insurers,  and others with relevant exper-
    22    tise, in developing such medicaid  savings
    23    allocation plan, to the extent that all or
    24    part  of  such  plan, in the discretion of
    25    the commissioner,  is  likely  to  have  a
    26    material  impact  on  the overall medicaid
    27    program, particular categories of  service
    28    or  particular  geographic  regions of the
    29    state.
    30  (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
    31    savings allocation plan on the  department
    32    of  health's  website  and  shall  provide
    33    written copies of such plan to the  chairs
    34    of  the  senate  finance  and the assembly
    35    ways and means committees at least 30 days
    36    before the date on which implementation is
    37    expected to begin.
    38  (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
    39    savings allocation plan subsequent to  the
    40    provisions  of  notice and prior to imple-
    41    mentation but need provide  a  new  notice
    42    pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
    43    graph only if the commissioner determines,
    44    in   his  or  her  discretion,  that  such
    45    revisions materially alter the plan.
    46  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
    47    (a)  and  (b)  of  this  subdivision,  the
    48    commissioner   need  not  seek  the  input
    49    described in paragraph (a) of this  subdi-
    50    vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
    51    graph  (b)  of this subdivision if, in the

     1    development  and implementation of a medi-
     2    caid savings allocation plan is  necessary
     3    due to a public health emergency.
     4  For  purposes  of  this  section,  a  public
     5    health emergency  is  defined  as:  (i)  a
     6    disaster,   natural   or  otherwise,  that
     7    significantly increases the immediate need
     8    for health care personnel in  an  area  of
     9    the state; (ii) an event or condition that
    10    creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
    11    serious   communicable   disease,  or  the
    12    potential  for  such  widespread  risk  of
    13    exposure;  or  (iii)  any  other  event or
    14    condition determined by  the  commissioner
    15    to constitute an imminent threat to public
    16    health.
    17  Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
    18    prevent  all  or  part  of  such  medicaid
    19    savings allocation plan from taking effect
    20    retroactively to the extent  permitted  by
    21    the federal centers for medicare and medi-
    22    caid services.
    23  In  accordance  with  the  medicaid  savings
    24    allocation plan, the commissioner  of  the
    25    department  of health shall reduce depart-
    26    ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
    27    ing by the amount of the  projected  over-
    28    spending  through,  actions including, but
    29    not limited  to  modifying  or  suspending
    30    reimbursement  methods,  including but not
    31    limited to all fees,  premium  levels  and
    32    rates   of  payment,  notwithstanding  any
    33    provision of  law  that  sets  a  specific
    34    amount   or   methodology   for  any  such
    35    payments or rates  of  payment;  modifying
    36    medicaid  program  benefits;  seeking  all
    37    necessary  federal  approvals,  including,
    38    but  not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
    39    ments;  and  suspending  time  frames  for
    40    notice,  approval or certification of rate
    41    requirements,     notwithstanding      any
    42    provision  of  law,  rule or regulation to
    43    the contrary, including but not limited to
    44    sections  2807  and  3614  of  the  public
    45    health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
    46    laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
    47  The  department  of  health  shall prepare a
    48    monthly report that sets forth: (a)  known
    49    and  projected  department of health medi-
    50    caid expenditures as described in subdivi-

    52    could result in medicaid disbursements for

    47    practicable, except where the commissioner

    10    manner  that does not unnecessarily create
    11    administrative burdens to medicaid  appli-

    13  The commissioner shall seek the input of the

    19    allocation plan, to the extent that all or
    20    part of such plan, in  the  discretion  of
    21    the  commissioner,  is  likely  to  have a
    22    material impact on  the  overall  medicaid

    24    or particular geographic  regions  of  the

    42  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
    43    (a)  and  (b)  of  this  subdivision,  the

     7    creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
     8    serious  communicable  disease,   or   the
     9    potential  for  such  widespread  risk  of
    10    exposure; or  (iii)  any  other  event  or
    11    condition  determined  by the commissioner
    12    to constitute an imminent threat to public

    32    payments or rates of payment; modifying or
    33    discontinuing  medicaid  program benefits;
    34    seeking all necessary  federal  approvals,

    15    grounds for non-uniformity, including  but
    16    not   limited  to:  the  extent  to  which
    17    specific categories of  services  contrib-
    18    uted  to  department  of  health  medicaid
    19    state funds  spending  in  excess  of  the
    20    limits specified herein; the need to main-
    21    tain  safety  net  services in underserved
    22    communities; or the potential benefits  of
    23    pursuing innovative payment models contem-
    24    plated  by  the  Affordable  Care  Act, in
    25    which case such grounds shall be set forth
    26    in the medicaid savings  allocation  plan;
    27    and  (5)  reductions  shall  be  made in a
    28    manner that does not unnecessarily  create
    29    administrative  burdens to medicaid appli-
    30    cants and recipients or providers.
    31  The commissioner shall seek the input of the
    32    legislature,  as  well  as   organizations
    33    representing    health   care   providers,
    34    consumers,  businesses,  workers,   health
    35    insurers,  and others with relevant exper-
    36    tise, in developing such medicaid  savings
    37    allocation plan, to the extent that all or
    38    part  of  such  plan, in the discretion of
    39    the commissioner,  is  likely  to  have  a
    40    material  impact  on  the overall medicaid
    41    program, particular categories of  service
    42    or  particular  geographic  regions of the
    43    state.
    44  (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
    45    savings allocation plan on the  department
    46    of  health's  website  and  shall  provide
    47    written copies of such plan to the  chairs
    48    of  the  senate  finance  and the assembly
    49    ways and means committees at least 30 days
    50    before the date on which implementation is
    51    expected to begin.

     1  (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
     2    savings allocation plan subsequent to  the
     3    provisions  of  notice and prior to imple-
     4    mentation but need provide  a  new  notice
     5    pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this para-
     6    graph only if the commissioner determines,
     7    in   his  or  her  discretion,  that  such
     8    revisions materially alter the plan.
     9  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
    10    (a)  and  (b)  of  this  subdivision,  the
    11    commissioner   need  not  seek  the  input
    12    described in paragraph (a) of this  subdi-
    13    vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
    14    graph  (b)  of this subdivision if, in the
    15    discretion of the commissioner,  expedited
    16    development  and implementation of a medi-
    17    caid savings allocation plan is  necessary
    18    due to a public health emergency.
    19  For  purposes  of  this  section,  a  public
    20    health emergency  is  defined  as:  (i)  a
    21    disaster,   natural   or  otherwise,  that
    22    significantly increases the immediate need
    23    for health care personnel in  an  area  of
    24    the state; (ii) an event or condition that
    25    creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
    26    serious   communicable   disease,  or  the
    27    potential  for  such  widespread  risk  of
    28    exposure;  or  (iii)  any  other  event or
    29    condition determined by  the  commissioner
    30    to constitute an imminent threat to public
    31    health.
    32  Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
    33    prevent  all  or  part  of  such  medicaid
    34    savings allocation plan from taking effect
    35    retroactively to the extent  permitted  by
    36    the federal centers for medicare and medi-
    37    caid services.
    38  In  accordance  with  the  medicaid  savings
    39    allocation plan, the commissioner  of  the
    40    department  of health shall reduce depart-
    41    ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
    42    ing by the amount of the  projected  over-
    43    spending  through,  actions including, but
    44    not limited  to  modifying  or  suspending
    45    reimbursement  methods,  including but not
    46    limited to all fees,  premium  levels  and
    47    rates   of  payment,  notwithstanding  any
    48    provision of  law  that  sets  a  specific
    49    amount   or   methodology   for  any  such
    50    payments or rates  of  payment;  modifying
    51    medicaid  program  benefits;  seeking  all
    52    necessary  federal  approvals,  including,

    12    and  projected  department of health medi-

    14    sion 1 of this section, and  factors  that
    15    could result in medicaid disbursements for
    16    the  relevant  state fiscal year to exceed
    17    the projected department of  health  state
    18    funds  disbursements in the enacted budget
    19    financial plan pursuant to  subdivision  3
    20    of  section  23  of the state finance law,

    23    changes, utilization changes, MRT  invest-
    24    ments,   and  shift  of  beneficiaries  to

    21    that complies with the state medicaid plan
    22    approved by the federal centers for  medi-
    23    care   and  medicaid  services,  provided,

    28    the provisions  of  the  medicaid  savings
    29    allocation   plan  that  meets  the  other

    32    federal financial  participation,  to  the
    33    extent  practicable, including any federal
    34    financial participation that is  available

    12    consumers,   businesses,  workers,  health

    15    allocation plan, to the extent that all or
    16    part of such plan, in  the  discretion  of
    17    the  commissioner,  is  likely  to  have a
    18    material impact on  the  overall  medicaid

    20    or particular geographic  regions  of  the

    19    creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
    20    serious  communicable  disease,   or   the
    21    potential  for  such  widespread  risk  of
    22    exposure; or  (iii)  any  other  event  or
    23    condition  determined  by the commissioner
    24    to constitute an imminent threat to public

    45    medicaid  program  benefits;  seeking  all

    37      pursuant to the federal social security act, increases  in  provider
    38      revenues,  reductions in local social services district payments for

    48      of  service  and  by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
    49      sioner of health, incurred both prior  to  and  subsequent  to  such
    50      assessment  for  each such period, and if the director of the budget

     1      herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
     2      with the director of the budget  and  the  commissioner  of  health,
     3      shall  develop  a  medicaid  savings  allocation  plan to limit such
     4      spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
     5    Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
     6      expenditures  authorized  by the appropriations herein in compliance
     7      with the following guidelines:  (1)  reductions  shall  be  made  in
     8      compliance  with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
     9      the Patient Protection and  Affordable  Care  Act,  Public  Law  No.
    10      111-148,  and  the  Health  Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
    11      2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively  "Affordable  Care  Act")
    12      and  any  subsequent  amendments  thereto or regulations promulgated
    13      thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner  that  complies
    14      with  the  state  medicaid  plan approved by the federal centers for
    15      medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the  commis-
    16      sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
    17      seek  other  federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
    18      ment the provisions of the medicaid  savings  allocation  plan  that
    19      meets  the  other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
    20      made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation,  to
    21      the  extent  practicable,  including  any  federal financial partic-
    22      ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    23      able, in the discretion of the commissioner,  under  the  Affordable
    24      Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
    25      services  and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
    26      cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service,  to
    27      the  extent  practicable,  except  where the commissioner determines
    28      that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including  but
    29      not limited to:  the extent to which specific categories of services
    30      contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
    31      excess  of  the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
    32      net services in underserved communities; or the  potential  benefits
    33      of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
    34      Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
    35      caid  savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
    36      manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens  to
    37      medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
    38    The  commissioner  shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
    39      organizations representing health care providers,  consumers,  busi-
    40      nesses,  workers,  health  insurers, and others with relevant exper-
    41      tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation  plan,  to  the
    42      extent  that  all  or  part  of  such plan, in the discretion of the
    43      commissioner, is likely to have a material  impact  on  the  overall
    44      medicaid  program,  particular  categories  of service or particular
    45      geographic regions of the state.
    46    (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    47      on  the  department  of  health's  website and shall provide written
    48      copies of such plan to the chairs of  the  senate  finance  and  the
    49      assembly  ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
    50      on which implementation is expected to begin.
    51    (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    52      subsequent  to  the provisions of notice and prior to implementation

                                           614                        20001-02-5

     1      but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i)  of  this
     2      paragraph  only  if  the  commissioner  determines,  in  his  or her
     3      discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
     4    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  (a)  and (b) of this
     5      subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input  described  in
     6      paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  or provide notice pursuant to
     7      paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
     8      sioner, expedited  development  and  implementation  of  a  medicaid
     9      savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
    10      cy.
    11    For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
    12      (i)  a  disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
    13      the immediate need for health care  personnel  in  an  area  of  the
    14      state;  (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
    15      exposure to a serious communicable disease,  or  the  potential  for
    16      such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
    17      tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
    18      to public health.
    19    Nothing  in  this  paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
    20      such medicaid savings allocation plan from  taking  effect  retroac-
    21      tively  to  the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
    22      and medicaid services.
    23    In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan,  the  commis-
    24      sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
    25      state  funds  medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
    26      spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
    27      suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited  to  all
    28      fees,  premium  levels  and  rates  of  payment, notwithstanding any
    29      provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for  any
    30      such  payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
    31      fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,  including,  but  not
    32      limited  to  waivers,  waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
    33      for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
    34      standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to  the  contrary,
    35      including  but  not  limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
    36      health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the  laws  of  1988,  and  18
    37      NYCRR 505.14(h).
    38    The  department  of  health  shall  prepare a monthly report that sets
    39      forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
    40      itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and  factors
    41      that  could  result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
    42      fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
    43      disbursements in the  enacted  budget  financial  plan  pursuant  to
    44      subdivision  3  of  section  23  of the state finance law, including
    45      spending increases or decreases  due  to:  enrollment  fluctuations,
    46      rate  changes,  utilization  changes,  MRT investments, and shift of
    47      beneficiaries to managed care; and variations  in  offline  medicaid
    48      payments;  and  (b)  the  actions  taken  to  implement any medicaid
    49      savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision  (4)  of
    50      this  section,  including  information concerning the impact of such
    51      actions on each category of service and each  geographic  region  of
    52      the  state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs

                                           615                        20001-02-5

    31      state  federal  medical  assistance  percentage  amount  established
    32      pursuant  to  the federal social security act, increases in provider
    33      revenues, reductions in local social services district payments  for
    34      medical  assistance  administration  and beginning April 1, 2012 the
    35      operational costs of the New  York  state  medical  indemnity  fund,
    36      pursuant  to  a chapter establishing such fund. Such projections may
    37      be adjusted by the director of the budget to account  for  increased

    39      as a result of a natural or other  type  of  disaster,  including  a
    40      governmental  declaration  of emergency. The director of the budget,
    41      in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess  on  a
    42      monthly  basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
    43      of service and by geographic region, as defined by the commissioner,
    44      incurred both prior to and subsequent to such  assessment  for  each
    45      such  period, and if the director of the budget determines that such
    46      expenditures are expected to cause medicaid spending for such period
    47      to exceed the aggregate limit specified herein for such period,  the
    48      state  medicaid  director,  in consultation with the director of the
    49      budget and the commissioner of  health,  shall  develop  a  medicaid

     1      savings  allocation  plan  to  limit  such spending to the aggregate
     2      limit specified herein for such period.
     3    Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
     4      expenditures  authorized  by the appropriations herein in compliance
     5      with the following guidelines:  (1)  reductions  shall  be  made  in
     6      compliance  with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
     7      the Patient Protection and  Affordable  Care  Act,  Public  Law  No.
     8      111-148,  and  the  Health  Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
     9      2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively  "Affordable  Care  Act")
    10      and  any  subsequent  amendments  thereto or regulations promulgated
    11      thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner  that  complies
    12      with  the  state  medicaid  plan approved by the federal centers for
    13      medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the  commis-
    14      sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
    15      seek  other  federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
    16      ment the provisions of the medicaid  savings  allocation  plan  that
    17      meets  the  other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
    18      made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation,  to
    19      the  extent  practicable,  including  any  federal financial partic-
    20      ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    21      able, in the discretion of the commissioner,  under  the  Affordable
    22      Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
    23      services  and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
    24      cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service,  to
    25      the  extent  practicable,  except  where the commissioner determines
    26      that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including  but
    27      not limited to:  the extent to which specific categories of services
    28      contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
    29      excess  of  the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
    30      net services in underserved communities; or the  potential  benefits
    31      of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
    32      Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
    33      caid  savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
    34      manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens  to
    35      medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
    36    The  commissioner  shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
    37      organizations representing health care providers,  consumers,  busi-
    38      nesses,  workers,  health  insurers, and others with relevant exper-
    39      tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation  plan,  to  the
    40      extent  that  all  or  part  of  such plan, in the discretion of the
    41      commissioner, is likely to have a material  impact  on  the  overall
    42      medicaid  program,  particular  categories  of service or particular
    43      geographic regions of the states.
    44    (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    45      on  the  department  of  health's  website and shall provide written
    46      copies of such plan to the chairs of  the  senate  finance  and  the
    47      assembly  ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
    48      on which implementation is expected to begin.
    49    (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    50      subsequent  to  the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
    51      but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i)  of  this

                                           624                        20001-02-5

     1      paragraph  only  if  the  commissioner  determines,  in  his  or her
     2      discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
     3    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  (a)  and (b) of this
     4      subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input  described  in
     5      paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  or provide notice pursuant to
     6      paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
     7      sioner, expedited  development  and  implementation  of  a  medicaid
     8      savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
     9      cy.
    10    For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
    11      (i)  a  disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
    12      the immediate need for health care  personnel  in  an  area  of  the
    13      state;  (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
    14      exposure to a serious communicable disease,  or  the  potential  for
    15      such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
    16      tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
    17      to public health.
    18    Nothing  in  this  paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
    19      such medicaid savings allocation plan from  taking  effect  retroac-
    20      tively  to  the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
    21      and medicaid services.
    22    In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan,  the  commis-
    23      sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
    24      state  funds  medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
    25      spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
    26      suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited  to  all
    27      fees,  premium  levels  and  rates  of  payment, notwithstanding any
    28      provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for  any
    29      such  payments or rates of payment; modifying or discontinuing medi-
    30      caid program benefits;  seeking  all  necessary  federal  approvals,
    31      including,  but  not  limited  to  waivers,  waiver  amendments; and
    32      suspending time frames for notice, approval or certification of rate
    33      requirements, notwithstanding any provision of law,  rule  or  regu-
    34      lation  to  the contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807
    35      and 3614 of the public health law, section 18 of chapter  2  of  the
    36      laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
    37    The  department  of  health  shall  prepare a monthly report that sets
    38      forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
    39      itures as described in subdivision 1 of this  section,  and  factors
    40      that  could  result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
    41      fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
    42      disbursements in the  enacted  budget  financial  plan  pursuant  to
    43      subdivision  3  of  section  23  of the state finance law, including
    44      spending increases or decreases  due  to:  enrollment  fluctuations,
    45      rate  changes,  utilization  changes,  MRT investments, and shift of
    46      beneficiaries to managed care; and variations  in  offline  medicaid
    47      payments;  and  (b)  the  actions  taken  to  implement any medicaid
    48      savings allocation plan implemented pursuant  to  subdivision  4  of
    49      this  section,  including  information concerning the impact of such
    50      actions on each category of service and each  geographic  region  of
    51      the  state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
    52      of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and

                                           625                        20001-02-5

     7  The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2014, is
     8      hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
     9    Notwithstanding  section  40  of state finance law or any other law to
    10      the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made  from  this
    11      account  shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in the
    12      aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 50 percent for
    13      the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015; and the remaining amount
    14      for the period April 1, 2015 to [March 31] September 15, 2016.
    15    Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or  any  provision
    16      of  law  to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
    17      health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
    18      services provided at state facilities  operated  by  the  office  of
    19      mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
    20      and  the  office  of  alcoholism  and  substance  abuse services and
    21      further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
    22      department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2014
    23      through March 31, 2015, shall not exceed $17,082,871,000  except  as
    24      provided  below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
    25      for the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] September 15,  2016,
    26      shall  not  exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event shall department
    27      of health state funds medicaid spending for the period April 1, 2014
    28      through  [March  31]  September  15,  2016  exceed   $35,020,738,000
    29      provided,  however,  such  aggregate  limits  may be adjusted by the
    30      director of the budget to account for any changes in  the  New  York
    31      state  federal  medical  assistance  percentage  amount  established
    32      pursuant to the federal social security act, increases  in  provider
    33      revenues,  reductions in local social services district payments for
    34      medical assistance administration and beginning April  1,  2012  the
    35      operational  costs  of  the  New  York state medical indemnity fund,
    36      pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such  projections  may
    37      be  adjusted  by the director of the budget to account for increased
    38      or expedited department of health state funds medicaid  expenditures
    39      as  a  result  of  a  natural or other type of disaster, including a
    40      governmental declaration of emergency. The director of  the  budget,
    41      in  consultation  with  the  commissioner of health, shall assess on
    42      monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by  category
    43      of  service  and  by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
    44      sioner of health, incurred both prior  to  and  subsequent  to  such
    45      assessment  for  each such period, and if the director of the budget
    46      determines that such expenditures are  expected  to  cause  medicaid
    47      spending  for  such  period  to exceed the aggregate limit specified
    48      herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
    49      with the director of the budget  and  the  commissioner  of  health,

                                           639                        20001-02-5

     1      shall  develop  a  medicaid  savings  allocation  plan to limit such
     2      spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
     3    Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
     4      expenditures  authorized  by the appropriations herein in compliance
     5      with the following guidelines:  (1)  reductions  shall  be  made  in
     6      compliance  with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
     7      the Patient Protection and  Affordable  Care  Act,  Public  Law  No.
     8      111-148,  and  the  Health  Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
     9      2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively  "Affordable  Care  Act")
    10      and  any  subsequent  amendments  thereto or regulations promulgated
    11      thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner  that  complies
    12      with  the  state  medicaid  plan approved by the federal centers for
    13      medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the  commis-
    14      sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
    15      seek  other  federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
    16      ment the provisions of the medicaid  savings  allocation  plan  that
    17      meets  the  other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
    18      made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation,  to
    19      the  extent  practicable,  including  any  federal financial partic-
    20      ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    21      able, in the discretion of the commissioner,  under  the  Affordable
    22      Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
    23      services  and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
    24      cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service,  to
    25      the  extent  practicable,  except  where the commissioner determines
    26      that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including  but
    27      not limited to:  the extent to which specific categories of services
    28      contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
    29      excess  of  the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
    30      net services in underserved communities; or the  potential  benefits
    31      of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
    32      Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
    33      caid  savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
    34      manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens  to
    35      medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
    36    The  commissioner  shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
    37      organizations representing health care providers,  consumers,  busi-
    38      nesses,  workers,  health  insurers, and others with relevant exper-
    39      tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation  plan,  to  the
    40      extent  that  all  or  part  of  such plan, in the discretion of the
    41      commissioner, is likely to have a material  impact  on  the  overall
    42      medicaid  program,  particular  categories  of service or particular
    43      geographic regions of the state.
    44    (a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    45      on  the  department  of  health's  website and shall provide written
    46      copies of such plan to the chairs of  the  senate  finance  and  the
    47      assembly  ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
    48      on which implementation is expected to begin.
    49    (b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings  allocation  plan
    50      subsequent  to  the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
    51      but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i)  of  this

                                           640                        20001-02-5

     1      paragraph  only  if  the  commissioner  determines,  in  his  or her
     2      discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
     3    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  (a)  and (b) of this
     4      subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input  described  in
     5      paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  or provide notice pursuant to
     6      paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
     7      sioner, expedited  development  and  implementation  of  a  medicaid
     8      savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
     9      cy.
    10    For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
    11      (i)  a  disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
    12      the immediate need for health care  personnel  in  an  area  of  the
    13      state;  (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
    14      exposure to a serious communicable disease,  or  the  potential  for
    15      such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
    16      tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
    17      to public health.
    18    Nothing  in  this  paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
    19      such medicaid savings allocation plan from  taking  effect  retroac-
    20      tively  to  the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
    21      and medicaid services.
    22    In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan,  the  commis-
    23      sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
    24      state  funds  medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
    25      spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
    26      suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited  to  all
    27      fees,  premium  levels  and  rates  of  payment, notwithstanding any
    28      provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for  any
    29      such  payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
    30      fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,  including,  but  not
    31      limited  to  waivers,  waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
    32      for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
    33      standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to  the  contrary,
    34      including  but  not  limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
    35      health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the  laws  of  1988,  and  18
    36      NYCRR  505.14(h).  The  department of health shall prepare a monthly
    37      report that sets forth: (a) known and projected department of health
    38      medicaid expenditures as described in subdivision 1 of this section,
    39      and factors that could result  in  medicaid  disbursements  for  the
    40      relevant  state  fiscal  year  to exceed the projected department of
    41      health state funds disbursements in  the  enacted  budget  financial
    42      plan  pursuant  to  subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance
    43      law, including spending increases or decreases  due  to:  enrollment
    44      fluctuations,  rate  changes,  utilization changes, MRT investments,
    45      and shift of  beneficiaries  to  managed  care;  and  variations  in
    46      offline  medicaid  payments;  and (b) the actions taken to implement
    47      any medicaid savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to  subdi-
    48      vision  4  of  this  section,  including  information concerning the
    49      impact of  such  actions  on  each  category  of  service  and  each
    50      geographic  region  of  the state. Each such monthly report shall be
    51      provided to the chairs of the senate finance and the  assembly  ways

     4      ant  to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
     5      state aid to municipalities where  payment  systems  through  fiscal
     6      intermediaries  are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
     7      costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for
     8      medical assistance. Payments  from  this  appropriation  to  general
     9      hospitals  related  to  indigent  care pursuant to article 28 of the
    10      public health law respectively, when combined with federal funds for
    11      services and expenses for the medical assistance program pursuant to
    12      title XIX of the  federal  social  security  act  or  its  successor
    13      program,  shall  equal  the  amount of the funds received related to
    14      health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
    15      28 of the public health law and deposited to this account  less  any
    16      such  amounts  withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
    17      of the public health law.
    18    Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the  moneys  hereby
    19      appropriated  may be increased or decreased by interchange or trans-
    20      fer with any appropriation of the  department  of  health  with  the
    21      approval of the director of the budget, who shall file such approval
    22      with the department of audit and control and copies thereof with the
    23      chairman  of  the  senate  finance committee and the chairman of the
    24      assembly ways and means committee.
    25    Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the  portion  of
    26      this  appropriation covering fiscal year 2014-15 shall supersede and
    27      replace any duplicative (i) reappropriation for this  item  covering
    28      fiscal  year  2014-15, and (ii) appropriation for this item covering

     1      provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the  aggregate,
     2      for  the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] September 15, 2016,
     3      shall not exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event  shall  department

     6      provided, however, such aggregate limits  may  be  adjusted  by  the
     7      director  of  the  budget to account for any changes in the New York
     8      state  federal  medical  assistance  percentage  amount  established
     9      pursuant  to  the federal social security act, increases in provider
    10      revenues, reductions in local social services district payments  for

    16      as a result of a natural or other  type  of  disaster,  including  a
    17      governmental  declaration  of emergency. The director of the budget,
    18      in consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess  on  a
    19      monthly  basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
    20      of service and by geographic region, as determined  by  the  commis-
    21      sioner  of  health,  incurred  both  prior to and subsequent to such
    22      assessment for each such period, and if the director of  the  budget
    23      determines  that  such  expenditures  are expected to cause medicaid
    24      spending for such period to exceed  the  aggregate  limit  specified
    25      herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
    26      with  the  director  of  the  budget and the commissioner of health,
    27      shall develop a medicaid  savings  allocation  plan  to  limit  such
    28      spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
    29    Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
    30      expenditures  authorized  by the appropriations herein in compliance
    31      with the following guidelines:  (1)  reductions  shall  be  made  in
    32      compliance  with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
    33      the Patient Protection and  Affordable  Care  Act,  Public  Law  No.
    34      111-148,  and  the  Health  Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
    35      2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively  "Affordable  Care  Act")
    36      and  any  subsequent  amendments  thereto or regulations promulgated
    37      thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner  that  complies
    38      with  the  state  medicaid  plan approved by the federal centers for
    39      medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the  commis-
    40      sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
    41      seek  other  federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
    42      ment the provisions of the medicaid  savings  allocation  plan  that
    43      meets  the  other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
    44      made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation,  to
    45      the  extent  practicable,  including  any  federal financial partic-
    46      ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    47      able, in the discretion of the commissioner,  under  the  Affordable
    48      Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
    49      services  and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
    50      cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service,  to
    51      the  extent  practicable,  except  where the commissioner determines
    52      that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including  but

     1      not limited to:  the extent to which specific categories of services
     2      contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
     3      excess  of  the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
     4      net  services  in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
     5      of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
     6      Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
     7      caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in  a
     8      manner  that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
     9      medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
    10    The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as  well  as
    11      organizations  representing  health care providers, consumers, busi-
    12      nesses, workers, health insurers, and others  with  relevant  exper-
    13      tise,  in  developing  such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
    14      extent that all or part of such  plan,  in  the  discretion  of  the
    15      commissioner,  is  likely  to  have a material impact on the overall
    16      medicaid program, particular categories  of  service  or  particular
    17      geographic regions of the state.
    18    (a)  The  commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
    19      on the department of health's  website  and  shall  provide  written
    20      copies  of  such  plan  to  the chairs of the senate finance and the
    21      assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the  date
    22      on which implementation is expected to begin.
    23    (b)  The  commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
    24      subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior  to  implementation
    25      but  need  provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
    26      paragraph only  if  the  commissioner  determines,  in  his  or  her
    27      discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
    28    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  (a)  and (b) of this
    29      subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input  described  in
    30      paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  or provide notice pursuant to
    31      paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
    32      sioner, expedited  development  and  implementation  of  a  medicaid
    33      savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
    34      cy.
    35    For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
    36      (i)  a  disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
    37      the immediate need for health care  personnel  in  an  area  of  the
    38      state;  (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
    39      exposure to a serious communicable disease,  or  the  potential  for
    40      such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
    41      tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
    42      to public health.
    43    Nothing  in  this  paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
    44      such medicaid savings allocation plan from  taking  effect  retroac-
    45      tively  to  the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
    46      and medicaid services.
    47    In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan,  the  commis-
    48      sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
    49      state  funds  medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
    50      spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
    51      suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited  to  all
    52      fees,  premium  levels  and  rates  of  payment, notwithstanding any

    13      that  could  result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
    14      fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
    15      disbursements in the  enacted  budget  financial  plan  pursuant  to
    16      subdivision  3  of  section  23  of the state finance law, including
    17      spending increases or decreases  due  to:  enrollment  fluctuations,
    18      rate  changes,  utilization  changes,  MRT investments, and shift of
    19      beneficiaries to managed care; and variations  in  offline  medicaid
    20      payments;  and  (b)  the  actions  taken  to  implement any medicaid
    21      savings allocation plan implemented pursuant  to  subdivision  4  of
    22      this  section,  including  information concerning the impact of such
    23      actions on each category of service and each  geographic  region  of
    24      the  state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
    25      of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
    26      shall be posted on the department of health's website  in  a  timely
    27      manner.
    28    For  the  purpose of making payments, the money hereby appropriated is

     6  The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2014, is
     7      hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
     8    Notwithstanding  section  40  of state finance law or any other law to
     9      the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made  from  this
    10      account  shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in the
    11      aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 50 percent for
    12      the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015; and the remaining amount
    13      for the period April 1, 2015 to [March 31] September 15, 2016.
    14    Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or  any  provision
    15      of  law  to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
    16      health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
    17      services provided at state facilities  operated  by  the  office  of
    18      mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
    19      and  the  office  of  alcoholism  and  substance  abuse services and
    20      further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
    21      department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2014
    22      through March 31, 2015, shall not exceed $17,082,871,000  except  as
    23      provided  below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
    24      for the period April 1, 2015 through [March 31] September 15,  2016,
    25      shall  not  exceed $17,937,867,000, but in no event shall department
    26      of health state funds medicaid spending for the period April 1, 2014
    27      through  [March  31]  September  15,  2016  exceed   $35,020,738,000
    28      provided,  however,  such  aggregate  limits  may be adjusted by the
    29      director of the budget to account for any changes in  the  New  York
    30      state  federal  medical  assistance  percentage  amount  established
    31      pursuant to the federal social security act, increases  in  provider
    32      revenues,  reductions in local social services district payments for
    33      medical assistance administration and beginning April  1,  2012  the
    34      operational  costs  of  the  New  York state medical indemnity fund,
    35      pursuant to a chapter establishing such fund. Such  projections  may
    36      be  adjusted  by the director of the budget to account for increased
    37      or expedited department of health state funds medicaid  expenditures
    38      as  a  result  of  a  natural or other type of disaster, including a
    39      governmental declaration of emergency. The director of  the  budget,
    40      in  consultation  with  the  commissioner of health, shall assess on
    41      monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by  category
    42      of  service  and  by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
    43      sioner of health, incurred both prior  to  and  subsequent  to  such
    44      assessment  for  each such period, and if the director of the budget
    45      determines that such expenditures are  expected  to  cause  medicaid
    46      spending  for  such  period  to exceed the aggregate limit specified
    47      herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
    48      with the director of the budget  and  the  commissioner  of  health,
    49      shall  develop  a  medicaid  savings  allocation  plan to limit such
    50      spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.

     1    Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
     2      expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein  in  compliance
     3      with  the  following  guidelines:  (1)  reductions  shall be made in
     4      compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions  of
     5      the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act, Public Law No.
     6      111-148, and the Health Care and  Education  Reconciliation  Act  of

     8      and any subsequent amendments  thereto  or  regulations  promulgated
     9      thereunder;  (2)  reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
    10      with the state medicaid plan approved by  the  federal  centers  for
    11      medicare  and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
    12      sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
    13      seek other federal approval, including waiver authority,  to  imple-
    14      ment  the  provisions  of  the medicaid savings allocation plan that
    15      meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions  shall  be
    16      made  in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
    17      the extent practicable,  including  any  federal  financial  partic-
    18      ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
    19      able,  in  the  discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
    20      Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
    21      services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent  practi-
    22      cable,  and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
    23      the extent practicable, except  where  the  commissioner  determines
    24      that  there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
    25      not limited to:  the extent to which specific categories of services
    26      contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
    27      excess of the limits specified herein; the need to  maintain  safety
    28      net  services  in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
    29      of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
    30      Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
    31      caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in  a
    32      manner  that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
    33      medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
    34    The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as  well  as
    35      organizations  representing  health care providers, consumers, busi-
    36      nesses, workers, health insurers, and others  with  relevant  exper-
    37      tise,  in  developing  such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
    38      extent that all or part of such  plan,  in  the  discretion  of  the
    39      commissioner,  is  likely  to  have a material impact on the overall
    40      medicaid program, particular categories  of  service  or  particular
    41      geographic regions of the state.
    42    (a)  The  commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
    43      on the department of health's  website  and  shall  provide  written
    44      copies  of  such  plan  to  the chairs of the senate finance and the
    45      assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the  date
    46      on which implementation is expected to begin.
    47    (b)  The  commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
    48      subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior  to  implementation
    49      but  need  provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
    50      paragraph only  if  the  commissioner  determines,  in  his  or  her
    51      discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.

     1    Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  paragraphs  (a)  and (b) of this
     2      subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input  described  in
     3      paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  or provide notice pursuant to
     4      paragraph (b) of this paragraph if, in the discretion of the commis-
     5      sioner,  expedited  development  and  implementation  of  a medicaid
     6      savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
     7      cy.
     8    For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
     9      (i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that  significantly  increases
    10      the  immediate  need  for  health  care  personnel in an area of the
    11      state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk  of
    12      exposure  to  a  serious  communicable disease, or the potential for
    13      such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
    14      tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
    15      to public health.
    16    Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all  or  part  of
    17      such  medicaid  savings  allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
    18      tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers  for  medicare
    19      and medicaid services.
    20    In  accordance  with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
    21      sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
    22      state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the  projected  over-
    23      spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
    24      suspending  reimbursement  methods, including but not limited to all
    25      fees, premium levels  and  rates  of  payment,  notwithstanding  any
    26      provision  of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
    27      such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program  bene-
    28      fits;  seeking  all  necessary federal approvals, including, but not
    29      limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and  suspending  time  frames
    30      for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
    31      standing  any  provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
    32      including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614  of  the  public
    33      health  law,  section  18  of  chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
    34      NYCRR 505.14(h).
    35    The department of health shall prepare  a  monthly  report  that  sets
    36      forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
    37      itures  as  described  in subdivision 1 of this section, and factors
    38      that could result in medicaid disbursements for the  relevant  state
    39      fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
    40      disbursements  in  the  enacted  budget  financial  plan pursuant to
    41      subdivision 3 of section 23 of  the  state  finance  law,  including
    42      spending  increases  or  decreases  due to: enrollment fluctuations,
    43      rate changes, utilization changes, MRT  investments,  and  shift  of
    44      beneficiaries  to  managed  care; and variations in offline medicaid
    45      payments; and (b)  the  actions  taken  to  implement  any  medicaid
    46      savings  allocation  plan  implemented  pursuant to subdivision 4 of
    47      this section, including information concerning the  impact  of  such
    48      actions  on  each  category of service and each geographic region of
    49      the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the  chairs
    50      of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
    51      shall  be  posted  on the department of health's website in a timely
    52      manner.
