BILL NUMBER:S4253 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to school-based health services under managed care programs PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To assure that Medicaid managed care enrollees have continued access to school-based health services. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 364-j(3)(e) of the Social Services Law by adding a new subparagraph (x) adding school-based health services to the list of services which need not be provided by a managed care program. Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION: School-based health centers are recognized as a highly effective vehicle for delivering crucially needed, timely health care services to the most vulnerable underserved and uninsured school-age children. The Department of Health has on several occasions delayed a requirement that managed care programs contract with school-based health centers. Managed care programs require each enrollee to choose a primary care practitioner. But they generally will only contract with physicians as primary care practitioners. Since school-based health centers use mostly nurse practitioners, physician's assistants and certified social workers with back up of physicians and psychologists or psychiatrists, managed care programs are unlikely to
