LHCSA Need Methodology RFI Released

The Department of Health (DOH) is in the process of developing a public need methodology for the licensure of Licensed Home Care Services Agencies (LHCSAs). The new public need methodology will ensure that an adequate supply of LHCSAs are available and accessible while avoiding the proliferation of unneeded agencies. The methodology will be utilized to evaluate applications involving establishment of a LHCSA but may also address changes of ownership. The RFI seeks recommendations for planning area designations, factors to include in the methodology, exceptions to the methodology, and additional requirements or priority considerations to include. Health care providers, administrators, associations, and the public are encouraged to submit responses.

Please see the Department’s Request for Information (RFI) document to be completed by interested parties. Completed RFIs should be sent to ALTCteam@health.ny.gov with the subject "LHCSA RFI" no later than Oct. 12, 2018.
