S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7922 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y June 10, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. HEVESI -- read once and referred to the Committee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law and the social services law, in relation to the provision of services by long term home health care programs; and to repeal certain provisions of the public health law relating thereto THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that New York State's Long Term Home Health Care ("Nursing Home Without Walls") Program has for over three decades been an integral part of the state's long term care system and an important service option for the state's citizens with chronic illness, infirmity and disability. The program provides quality care to long term care patients at home at approximate- ly half the cost of institutional care. As the state shifts to a managed care structure for the delivery of health services, the legislature finds that this program should continue to fulfill its vital role in the state's health care system. The legis- lature finds however that, to effectively function in the new system, certain changes are necessary to further align this program to the evolving model of managed care, and concludes that these changes be instituted simultaneously with managed care implementation. S 2. The opening paragraph of subdivision 8 of section 3602 of the public health law, as amended by chapter 622 of the laws of 1988, is amended and a new paragraph d is added to read as follows: "Long term home health care program" means a coordinated plan of care and services provided at home to (I) invalid, infirm, or disabled persons who are medically eligible for placement in a hospital or resi- dential health care facility for an extended period of time if such program were unavailable, OR (II) PERSONS REQUIRING HOME AND COMMUNITY- BASED SERVICES WHO ARE ENROLLED IN A MANAGED CARE PLAN AS DEFINED UNDER EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
