BILL NUMBER: S2034 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to creating adult day services respite demonstration programs PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL : The commissioner of health, in conjunction with the director of the state office for the aging, is authorized to submit amendments to the state plan for medical assistance to develop and implement an adult day services respite demonstration program to test a new model of respite to allow clients access to the services that best fit their needs. The demonstration program will test a system of reimbursement that reflects the level of service received by the participant rather than the funding source, which will better use already-existing Medicaid and private dollars. Client access to community-based Adult Day Services will be delivered in the least restrictive setting; this is one step that can help encourage the right-sizing of the long term care system while saving dollars and serving more individuals. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Adds a new section 2801-g to the public health law creating adult day services respite demonstration programs.
