DOH announced in an email on Nov. 17^th that it would be postponing the rollout of the NY Independent Assessor Program reassessments due to stakeholder and other concerns. No new date for the implementation of Independent Assessor reassessments has been announced.

A parent or legal guardian of an adult CDPAS member, age 21 or older, may serve as that member's CDPAS personal assistant, provided that they are not also the member's designated representative.

DOH issued guidance expanding the bases for involuntary disenrollments from MLTC plans, effective Nov. 1^st. The guidance resumes types of involuntary disenrollments that were suspended during the pandemic.

In 2024, the role of the NY Independent Assessor Program will be expanded to include routine and non-routine reassessments of Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in MLTC or receiving personal care or CDPAS. Implementation will be phased in on a regional basis.
