LeadingAge New York provides key updates from DOH on a variety of issues of concern to ACFs and assisted living providers.

DOH provides additional resources regarding requirement for unimmunized workers to wear masks.

DOH offers training in July prior to Aug. 1 implementation.

DOH provided updates during the July 19 DOH Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) Implementation Advisory Group call.

A provider memo recently issued by DOH contains guidelines and clarifications regarding the use of UAS-NY assessments for non-Medicaid recipients.

The purpose of this policy document is to remind Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plans of the need to effectively coordinate Medicare and other third-party liability benefits for the MLTC dual-eligible membership.  Federal regulations require Medicaid to be the payer of last resort.

This GIS further clarifies MLTC policies as it pertains to Level 1 personal care services as the sole community-based long term care service provided to a consumer.

As per Special Terms and Conditions (STC) #28 (d), MLTC plans must submit data for state review on a monthly basis when the plan has issued a notice of action that involves a reduction of split-shift or live-in services or when the plan is reducing hours by 25 percent or more.
