4 of section 3602 of the education law, a
school district, other than a special act
school district as defined in subdivision
8 of section 4001 of the education law,
from funds appropriated herein shall be
eligible for total foundation aid equal to
the sum of: (1) the base increase, plus
(2) the community schools increase, plus
(3) the foundation aid base, as defined
pursuant to paragraph j of subdivision 1
of section 3602 of the education law.
(1) The base increase shall be equal to the
greater of the foundation aid per pupil
increase or the scaled per pupil increase.
The base increase shall not exceed the
product of 15 percent multiplied by the
198 12553-02-7
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
foundation aid base and shall not be less
than the due minimum increase.
(i) The foundation aid per pupil increase
shall be equal to the product of the
selected per pupil foundation aid increase
as defined herein multiplied by the
selected total aidable foundation pupil
units computed pursuant to paragraph g of
subdivision 2 of section 3602 of the
education law.
(A) The selected per pupil foundation aid
increase shall be equal to the per pupil
foundation increase as defined herein less
the selected local share, with a minimum
of $500 multiplied by the per pupil foun-
dation increase factor, rounded to two
decimals.
(B) The per pupil foundation increase factor
for the 2017-18 school year shall be equal
to 0.01227.
(C) The per pupil foundation increase shall
be equal to the product of (i) the product
of the adjusted cost amount, the regional
cost index, and the pupil need index
computed to two decimals without rounding,
multiplied by (ii) the per pupil founda-
tion increase factor.
(D) The selected local share shall be equal
to the lesser of (a) the product of the
per pupil foundation increase and the
value computed by subtracting from one the
state sharing ratio for total foundation
aid, rounded to two decimals or (b) the
product of the quotient arrived at when
dividing the selected actual valuation by
total wealth foundation pupil units,
multiplied by the product of the income
wealth index multiplied by the local tax
factor multiplied by the per pupil founda-
tion increase factor, provided, however,
that the income wealth index shall not be
less than zero nor exceed 2.0.
(ii) The scaled per pupil increase shall be
equal to the product of $195 multiplied by
the scaled per pupil ratio, multiplied by
the base year public school district
enrollment as computed pursuant to subpar-
agraph 2 of paragraph n of subdivision 1
of section 3602 of the education law. The
scaled per pupil ratio shall be the value
computed by subtracting from two the prod-
uct of 2.15 multiplied by the combined
199 12553-02-7
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
wealth ratio for total foundation aid,
defined pursuant to subparagraph 2 of
paragraph c of subdivision 3 of section
3602 of the education law, computed to
three decimal places without rounding. The
scaled per pupil ratio shall not exceed
nine tenths (0.9) or be less than zero.
(iii) The due minimum increase shall be
equal to the product of the foundation aid
base and the due minimum percent. For the
2017-18 school year, the due minimum
percent shall equal: (a) for a city school
district of a city having a population of
1,000,000 or more, 0.0293; (b) for a city
school district of a city having a popu-
lation in excess of 125,000 and less than
1,000,000 inhabitants, 0.02165, and (c)
for all other public school districts,
other than a special act school district
as defined in subdivision 8 of section
4001 of the education law, eligible for
foundation aid, 0.01.
(2) The community schools increase shall be,
for all eligible school districts, equal
to the product of the scaled per pupil
amount multiplied by the base year public
school district enrollment as computed
pursuant to subparagraph 2 of paragraph n
of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of the
education law, but shall not be less than
$150,000.
(i) (A) A school district shall be eligible
for the community schools increase if (1)
the school district contains at least one
school designated as failing or persis-
tently failing by the commissioner pursu-
ant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of subdivi-
sion one of section 211-f of the education
law as of January 1, 2017 or (2) the
school district has both a combined wealth
ratio for total foundation aid less than
1.2 and has a qualifying English language
learner population level.
(B) For purposes of this appropriation, a
qualifying English language learner popu-
lation level shall mean those school
districts where (1) the quotient arrived
at when dividing the English language
learner count by the base year public
school district enrollment as computed
pursuant to subparagraph 2 of paragraph n
of subdivision 1 of section 3602 of the

positive difference, if any, of the
English language learner count less the
amount equal to "2011-12 ENGLISH LANGUAGE
LEARNERS" in the computer listing produced
by the commissioner in support of the
executive budget request for the 2017-18
school year and entitled "BT171-8" is
greater than both (a) 100 pupils and (b)
the product of 0.10 multiplied by the
amount equal to "2011-12 ENGLISH LANGUAGE
LEARNERS" in the computer listing produced
by the commissioner in support of the
executive budget request for the 2017-18
school year and entitled "BT171-8".
(ii) The community schools scaled per pupil
amount shall be equal to the product of
$88.03 multiplied by the difference of
subtracting from one the product of the
combined wealth ratio for total foundation
aid multiplied by 0.64, provided that such
product shall not exceed 0.9 or be less
than zero.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the community schools increase
shall be added to the community schools
aid set-aside for the 2017-18 school year
pursuant to paragraph e of subdivision 4
of section 3602 of the education law, and
a school district shall use such community
schools increase to support the transfor-
mation of school buildings into community
hubs to deliver co-located or school-
linked academic, health, mental health,
nutrition, counseling, legal and/or other
services to students and their families,
including but not limited to providing a
community school site coordinator and
programs for English language learners,
provided further that a school district
whose community schools increase exceeds
$1,000,000 shall use an amount equal to
the greater of $150,000 or 10 percent of
such community schools increase to support
such transformation at additional schools
with extraordinarily high levels of
student need as identified by the commis-
sioner of education, subject to the
approval of the director of the budget.

from the funds appropriated herein for its

In order to receive such funds, the school

plan by October 1, 2017. Such revised plan

has complied with the approved comprehen-
sive expenditure plan and spent such funds

days from the receipt of such evidence to
confirm whether the school district has
complied with the requirements of chapter
89 of the laws of 2016 and shall determine
whether such funds were spent in conform-
ance with the provisions of such chapter.
Upon finding compliance and determining
that the funds were properly expended, the
commissioner shall certify the amount of
the approved expenditures to the state
comptroller for payment no later than 60
days after such determinations. The East
Ramapo central school district shall not
receive reimbursement for funds authorized
herein that are not spent for the direct
benefit of students attending public
schools in such district in a manner

expenditure plan or prior written approval
from the commissioner.

tion no later than 30 days prior to the

website: the initial proposed budget, the
commissioner's findings, and the final
proposed budget prior to the date of the
school district's budget vote.
The monitor or monitors appointed by the
commissioner shall quarterly, and the
district shall annually provide to the
commissioner reports on the fiscal and
operational status of the school district

requirements herein. In addition, monitors
shall provide an annual report to the
commissioner and comptroller on contracts
that the district entered into throughout

the salary provided for similarly qualified teachers in public
schools in the region in which such eligible school is located. The
allocation to each qualifying school shall be calculated based on
the number of weighted full time equivalent (FTE) staff, as defined
herein, in the per FTE award amount. The total number of weighted
FTE shall be determined by multiplying the actual number of FTE
teachers providing classroom instruction at each school, as deter-
mined by the commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for those schools
where average salaries that are 50 percent or less of those in
public school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor of
1.5 for those schools where average salaries that are 50 percent and
75 percent of public schools located in the same geographic region;

geographic region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be calcu-
lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for payments to schools
providing special services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,
g, i, and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of the education law

Within the amounts appropriated herein,
state reimbursement to each social

herein that are otherwise reimbursable by
the state from April 1, 2017 through March
31, 2018 shall be limited to a district
allocation, hereinafter referred to as the

Notwithstanding any other provision of

in excess of such amount shall be subject
to 62 percent state reimbursement exclu-
sive of any federal funds made available
for such purposes, in accordance with
directives of the department of family
assistance and subject to the approval of
the director of the budget. Any claims
submitted by a social services district
for reimbursement for a particular state
fiscal year for which the social services
district does not receive state or federal
reimbursement during that state fiscal
year may not be claimed against that
district's block grant apportionment for
the next state fiscal year.
The office of children and family services,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share
decrease related to federal retroactive
reimbursement for such foster care
services identified herein. The office,
with the approval of the director of the
budget, may reduce a district's block
grant allocation by the state share of
disallowances or sanctions taken against
the district pursuant to the social

Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the state shall not be responsible for
reimbursing a social services district and
a district shall not seek state reimburse-
ment for any portion of any state disal-
lowance or sanction taken against the
social services district, or any federal
disallowance attributable to final federal
agency decisions or to settlement made, on
or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
ance or sanction results from the failure
of the social services district to comply
with federal or state requirements,
including, but not limited to, failure to
document eligibility for federal or state
funds in the case record; provided, howev-
er, if the office determines that any
federal disallowance for services provided
between January 1, 1999 and May 31, 1999

results solely from the late enactment of
the state legislation implementing the
federal adoption and safe families act,
the state shall be solely responsible for
the full amount of the disallowance or
sanction; provided, further, however, this
provision shall be deemed to apply both
prospectively and retroactively regardless
of whether such sanctions or disallowances
are for services provided or claims made
prior to or after April 1, 2017.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
any federal disallowance resulting from a
federal title IV-E eligibility review or
audit that uses extrapolated statistic
techniques shall be passed along by the
state to any and all social services
districts that the office of children and
family services has determined have not
complied with the title IV-E eligibility
requirements or have not taken the neces-
sary actions to ensure compliance with
such requirements including, but not
limited to, failing to: assess and fully
document all the criteria and have readily
available all the necessary documents to
establish and continue title IV-E eligi-
bility for all title IV-E eligible chil-

claim title IV-E funding only for cases
that meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
ity criteria; and fully implement the
social services payment system on or
before April 1, 2005 for all direct and
voluntary agency foster care services.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
office of children and family services
shall impose on social services districts
any federal disallowance issued against
the state as a result of a federal title
IV-E secondary eligibility review regard-
less of the date the children may have
entered foster care, the date the eligi-
bility or payment errors occurred, or the
filing date of any federal claims for
reimbursement; provided, however, that the
state shall be responsible for the disal-
lowed costs and expenditures related to
the placement of children in a facility
operated by the office of children and
family services, which shall be determined

AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
in the same manner as the disallowed costs
and expenditures for social services
districts other than the city of New York.
In order to reimburse the federal govern-
ment for the full amount of any disallow-
ance imposed on the state by the federal
administration for children and families
within the timeframes necessary to avoid
any potential interest payments on such
amount, the office of children and family
services is authorized to immediately
offset funds otherwise due to each
district for a pro rata share of the total
disallowed costs based on the percentage
of applicable federal title IV-E claims
made by that district for the relevant
time period as compared to the total
applicable statewide title IV-E claims.
The amount of the offset against each
district will be adjusted, if necessary,
upon completion of the disallowance allo-
cation process. The final allocation of
the amount of any federal disallowance
resulting from a title IV-E secondary
eligibility review shall be allocated
among the districts so that each district
shall be responsible for the amount
attributable to each of the district's
children or cases that are determined by
the federal review to be unallowable. Each
district shall also be responsible for a
portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
lowance amount based on the relative error
rate for the district. The city of New
York's error rate will be based on the
federal sample and federal statistics. For
all social services districts other than
the city of New York, the error rate will
be based on a review conducted by the
district of a sample of children and/or
cases determined by the office of children
and family services and a re-review of a
sub-sample by the office of those children
and/or cases determined by the office. The
office of children and family services
will determine what is reasonable in
establishing the size of the sample and
sub-sample for each district. The office
of children and family services shall
notify each social services district of
the sample of children and/or cases from
375 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
the federal audit period that the social
services district must review. Any child
or case from the social services district
that was included in the federal sample
will automatically be included in the
social services district's review sample
and the determination made at the federal
review regarding that child or case will
govern for the purposes of the social
services district's review. The social
services district must complete and submit
the results of its review to the office of
children and family services within 60
days of receipt of the sample. The error
rate for the district will be based on the
findings of the district's review and the
office of children and family services'
re-review. If a social services district
does not complete its review within 60
days of receiving the sample from the
office of children and family services,
the office of children and family services
shall assign an error rate to the social
services district based on the relative
percentage of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims for the relevant period
as compared to applicable statewide title
IV-E claims for that period and other
circumstances that the office of children
and family services may consider in order
to allocate 100 percent of the federal
disallowance. The office of children and
family services shall apply each social
services district's error rate to the
total amount of the district's applicable
title IV-E claims including associated
administrative expenses. The resulting
dollar amounts for all of the social
services districts will be summed to
derive the total amount of title IV-E
claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
establish a disallowance percentage for
each social services district, the amount
of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
to be in error will be divided by the
amount of statewide title IV-E claims
deemed to be in error. The resulting
disallowance percentage for each district
will be applied to the entire title IV-E
extrapolated disallowance calculated by
the federal review to determine the amount
376 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE
OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
of the extrapolated disallowance for which
the district is responsible. Each district
will be credited for the amount already
disallowed for any individual children or
cases found to be in error during the
federal review. The exclusive appeal
rights for the review of the amount of the
federal disallowance assigned to each
social services district shall be pursuant
to article 78 of the civil practice laws
and rules; provided, however, that in any
such action all of the social services
districts shall be joined as necessary
parties and the venue of any such action
shall be in Rensselaer county. Any social
services district that fails to complete
its sample review in the required time
frames shall have no right to appeal and
shall not be a necessary party to any
action brought by another social services
district.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of state aid hereto-
fore accrued or hereafter to accrue to
municipalities. Subject to the approval of
the director of the budget, the money
hereby appropriated shall be available to
the office net of disallowances, refunds,

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the amount herein appropriated may
be transferred to any other appropriation
within the office of children and family
services and/or the office of temporary
and disability assistance and/or suballo-
cated to the office of temporary and disa-

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the amount appropriated
herein shall be available to reimburse for 98 percent of 65 percent
of eligible social services district expenditures that are claimed
by March 31, 2017 for those community preventive services provided
from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016 at a cost that does
not exceed the cost that was in effect on October 1, 2008 and that a
social services district can demonstrate had been approved by the
office of children and family services on or before October 1, 2008;
provided, however, that should insufficient funds be available to
provide state reimbursement for 98 percent of 65 percent of such

based on the percentage of their total eligible claims to the amount
appropriated; and, provided further, however, that if the amount
appropriated exceeds the amount of funds necessary to reimburse 98
percent of 65 percent of the eligible social services district

provide reimbursement for 98 percent of 65 percent of eligible
social services district expenditures for new community preventive
services programs approved by the office and only up to the amounts
approved by the office. A local social services district seeking
federal and/or state reimbursement for community preventive services
provided on or after October 1, 2015 must submit claims that sepa-
rately identify the costs of such services in a form and manner and
at such times as are required by the department of family assistance

strate quality of services provided and program effectiveness be
submitted to the office of children and family services in a form
and manner and at such times as required by the office. Of the
amount appropriated herein, up to $1 million may be used to provide
additional funding to an eligible program or programs with evalu-
ation results that show program effectiveness and demonstrate
private monetary support as determined by the office of children and
family services and approved by the director of the budget.

ployed or underemployed, in areas of the state with demonstrated
labor market needs and unemployment rates that are greater than the
appropriate or comparative rate of employment for the region, and to
persons in receipt of family assistance and/or safety net assist-
ance. Of the amounts appropriated, at least sixty percent shall be
available for services to eighteen to twenty-four year olds, with
remaining funds available to recipients of family assistance and/or
safety net assistance, without age restrictions, and sixteen to
seventeen year old self-supporting individuals who are heads of
household. The office of temporary and disability assistance in
consultation with the department of labor shall develop a request
for proposals and shall receive, review, and assess applications.
In selecting proposals, the office of temporary and disability
assistance and the department of labor shall give preference to
programs that demonstrate community-based collaborations with educa-
tion and training providers and employers in the region. Such educa-
tion and training providers may include, but not be limited to
general equivalency diplomas programs, community colleges, junior
colleges, business and trade schools, vocational institutions, and
institutions with baccalaureate degree-granting programs; programs
that provide for a career path or career paths, as supported by
identified local employment needs; programs that provide employment
services, including but not limited to, post-secondary training
designed to meet the needs of employers in the local labor market,
or catchment area; programs that include education and training
components, such as remedial education, individual training plans,
pre-employment training, workplace basic skills, and literacy skills
training. Such education and training must include institutions,
industry associations, or other credentialing bodies for the purpose
of providing participants with certificates, diplomas, or degrees;
projects that provide comprehensive student support services,

such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, changes to the availability
of federal financial participation in
medicaid expenditures, or change in feder-
al medicaid eligibility criteria,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a monthly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation plan to limit such spending to
the aggregate limit specified herein for
such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
717 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
718 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
719 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
720 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
The money hereby appropriated is available
for payment of aid heretofore accrued to
municipalities, and to providers of
medical services pursuant to section 367-b
of the social services law, and shall be
available to the department net of disal-
lowances, refunds, reimbursements, and
credits.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the money hereby appropriated may be
increased or decreased by interchange,
with any appropriation of the department
of health, and may be increased or
decreased by transfer or suballocation
between these appropriated amounts and
appropriations of the office of mental
health, the office for people with devel-
opmental disabilities, the office of alco-
holism and substance abuse services, the
department of family assistance office of
temporary and disability assistance, and
office of children and family services
with the approval of the director of the
budget, who shall file such approval with
the department of audit and control and
copies thereof with the chairman of the
senate finance committee and the chairman
of the assembly ways and means committee.

not limited to receipts from the federal
government, are less than the amounts
assumed in the 2017-2018 financial plan,

this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by

reducing spending and liabilities for
statutorily authorized programs. Such
reductions shall be made in compliance
with any applicable federal law, and to
the extent practicable shall be made:
(a)uniformly against existing liabilities
and spending; and
(b) in a manner that maximizes federal
financial participation, if applicable.
Provided, however, any reductions made to
this appropriation in accordance with the
above written allocation plan may, at the
discretion of the director of the budget,
be made in lieu of, or in addition to,
adjustments made by the director of the
budget to projected department of health
medicaid state funds disbursements in the
enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
this appropriation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, any of the amounts appro-
priated herein may be increased or

other department, agency or public author-
ity or by transfer or suballocation to any
department, agency or public authority
with the approval of the director of the
budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through

include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and

in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
724 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (g-1) of
subdivision 2 of section 365-a of the
social services law, and drugs which are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
725 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
program pursuant to paragraph (a) of
subdivision 4 of section 365-a of the
social services law shall be as follows:
(a) if the drug dispensed is a generic
prescription drug, or is a drug that is
available without a prescription, the
lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
726 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
727 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
728 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
729 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
730 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
731 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
732 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
733 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
734 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by Medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
735 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the amount due to be reim-
bursed to a social services district which
includes a city with a population of more
than five million for the administration
of the medicaid program shall be reduced
annually by $50,000,000 unless: by June
30, 2017, such district has a shared
savings allocation plan approved by the
commissioner of health to increase by
$100,000,000 the current annual dollar
amount of the city's finally submitted and
payable medicaid claims for preschool and
school supportive health services eligible
for federal financial participation; and
on October 1, 2017 and annually thereaft-
er, the commissioner of health determines
that ongoing activities under the approved
shared savings allocation plan are likely
to achieve the targeted dollar amount of
payable medicaid claims for preschool and
school supportive health services, and the
amount of required medicaid state savings,
for the applicable fiscal year; the social
services district and city shall provide
such information and documentation as the
commissioner of health may require in
order to make such determination. The
department of health will provide techni-
cal assistance as needed to assist the
social services district in implementing
the shared savings allocation plan, which
must detail: how the city will identify
preschool and school-aged children who are
receiving preschool and school supportive
health services reimbursable under the
736 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
current medicaid state plan and submit
claims for reimbursement: and how the plan
will generate $50,000,000 in state savings
to the medicaid program. The shared
savings allocation plan may be revised,
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health, as necessary to
maintain the increased level of claiming
and to generate the required medicaid
state savings in subsequent fiscal years.
The non-federal share of the costs of
services for which medicaid claims are
submitted as a result of the implementa-
tion of the shared savings allocation plan
shall be the responsibility of the social
services district. Any reduction in the
amount reimbursed to the social services
district for the administration of the
medicaid program as a result of this para-
graph shall be in addition to any
reduction imposed pursuant to section 4-a
of part C of chapter 58 of the laws of
2005 or authorized pursuant to any other
applicable law. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow a social services district
which includes a city with a population of
more than five million to be reimbursed
for the administration of the medicaid
program without such an annual reduction,
without maximizing medicaid claiming for
reimbursable preschool and school support-
ive health services, and without generat-
ing additional state medicaid savings,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, in lieu of payments authorized by
the social services law, or payments of
federal funds otherwise due to the local
social services districts for programs
provided under the federal social security
act or the federal food stamp act, funds
herein appropriated, in amounts certified
by the state commissioner of temporary and
disability assistance or the state commis-
sioner of health as due from local social
services districts each month as their
share of payments made pursuant to section
367-b of the social services law may be
set aside by the state comptroller in an

interest-bearing account in order to
ensure the orderly and prompt payment of
providers under section 367-b of the
social services law pursuant to an esti-
mate provided by the commissioner of
health of each local social services
district's share of payments made pursuant
to section 367-b of the social services
law.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, the portion of this appropri-

office of children and family services
with the approval of the director of the
budget, who shall file such approval with
the department of audit and control and
copies thereof with the chairman of the
senate finance committee and the chairman
of the assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and nonprescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer
741 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
marketing; the extent of utilization of
the drug; prices for the drug that are
charged to purchasers outside the United
States; prices charged to typical purchas-
ers in the state, including but not limit-
ed to pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharma-
cy wholesalers, or other direct
purchasers; the average rebates and
discounts provided per payer type; and the
average profit margin of each drug over
the prior five-year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug. All information disclosed shall
be considered confidential and shall not
be disclosed by the department of health
in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
742 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a value-
based, per-unit benchmark price for such
drugs. For this purpose, the membership of
the drug utilization review board shall be
increased by four members: two health care
economists, one actuary, and one represen-
tative of the department of financial
services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
743 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to section 365-a(2)(g-1)
of the social services law, and drugs
which are available without a prescription
as required by section 6810 of the educa-
tion law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to section 365-a(4)(a) of
the social services law shall be as
follows: (a) if the drug dispensed is a
generic prescription drug, or is a drug
that is available without a prescription,
the lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
744 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
745 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
746 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
747 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
748 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
749 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the Medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
750 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
751 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
752 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
753 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the amount due to be reim-
bursed to a social services district which
includes a city with a population of more
than five million for the administration
of the medicaid program shall be reduced
annually by $50,000,000 unless: by June
30, 2017, such district has a shared
savings allocation plan approved by the
commissioner of health to increase by
$100,000,000 the current annual dollar
amount of the city's finally submitted and
payable medicaid claims for preschool and
school supportive health services eligible
for federal financial participation; and
on October 1, 2017 and annually thereaft-
er, the commissioner of health determines
that ongoing activities under the approved
shared savings allocation plan are likely
to achieve the targeted dollar amount of
payable medicaid claims for preschool and
school supportive health services, and the
754 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
amount of required medicaid state savings,
for the applicable fiscal year; the social
services district and city shall provide
such information and documentation as the
commissioner of health may require in
order to make such determination. The
department of health will provide techni-
cal assistance as needed to assist the
social services district in implementing
the shared savings allocation plan, which
must detail: how the city will identify
preschool and school-aged children who are
receiving preschool and school supportive
health services reimbursable under the
current medicaid state plan and submit
claims for reimbursement: and how the plan
will generate $50,000,000 in state savings
to the medicaid program. The shared
savings allocation plan may be revised,
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health, as necessary to
maintain the increased level of claiming
and to generate the required medicaid
state savings in subsequent fiscal years.
The non-federal share of the costs of
services for which medicaid claims are
submitted as a result of the implementa-
tion of the shared savings allocation plan
shall be the responsibility of the social
services district. Any reduction in the
amount reimbursed to the social services
district for the administration of the
medicaid program as a result of this para-
graph shall be in addition to any
reduction imposed pursuant to section 4-a
of part C of chapter 58 of the laws of
2005 or authorized pursuant to any other
applicable law. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow a social services district
which includes a city with a population of
more than five million to be reimbursed
for the administration of the medicaid
program without such an annual reduction,
without maximizing medicaid claiming for
reimbursable preschool and school support-
ive health services, and without generat-
ing additional state medicaid savings,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.

April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019,
shall not exceed $20,797,987,000, but in

such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, changes to the availability
of federal financial participation in
Medicaid expenditures, or change in feder-
al medicaid eligibility criteria,
increases in provider revenues, reductions

for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on a monthly basis known and
projected medicaid expenditures by catego-
ry of service and by geographic region, as
defined by the commissioner, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
758 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
759 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
760 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying or
discontinuing medicaid program benefits;
seeking all necessary federal approvals,
including, but not limited to waivers,
waiver amendments; and suspending time
frames for notice, approval or certif-
ication of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or
regulation to the contrary, including but
not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of
the public health law, section 18 of chap-
ter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR
505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
761 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
The money hereby appropriated is to be
available for payment of aid heretofore
accrued to municipalities, and to provid-
ers of medical services pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities and to providers of family care
where payment systems through the fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, and
shall be available to the department net
of disallowances, refunds, reimbursements,
and credits.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, funds may be used
by the department for outside legal
assistance on issues involving the federal
government, the conduct of preadmission
screening and annual resident reviews
required by the state's medicaid program,
computer matching with insurance carriers
to insure that medicaid is the payer of
last resort and activities related to the
management of the pharmacy benefit avail-
able under the medicaid program.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, in lieu of payments authorized by
the social services law, or payments of
federal funds otherwise due to the local
social services districts for programs
provided under the federal social security
act or the federal food stamp act, funds
herein appropriated, in amounts certified
by the state commissioner of temporary and
disability assistance or the state commis-
sioner of health as due from local social
services districts each month as their
share of payments made pursuant to section
367-b of the social services law may be
set aside by the state comptroller in an
interest-bearing account in order to
762 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
ensure the orderly and prompt payment of
providers under section 367-b of the
social services law pursuant to an esti-
mate provided by the commissioner of
health of each local social services
district's share of payments made pursuant
to section 367-b of the social services
law.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, funding made available by these
appropriations shall support direct salary
costs and related fringe benefits within
the medical assistance program associated
with any minimum wage increase that takes
effect during the timeframe of these
appropriations, pursuant to section 652 of
the labor law. Each eligible organization
in receipt of funding made available by
these appropriations may be required to
submit written certification, in such form
and at such time the commissioner may
prescribe, attesting to the total amount
of funds used by the eligible organiza-
tion, how such funding will be or was used
for purposes eligible under these appro-
priations and any other reporting deemed
necessary by the commissioner. The amounts
appropriated herein may include advances
to organizations authorized to receive
such funds to accomplish this purpose.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the money hereby appropriated may be
increased or decreased by interchange,
with any appropriation of the department
of health and the office of medicaid
inspector general and may be increased or
decreased by transfer or suballocation
between these appropriated amounts and
appropriations of the department of health
state purpose account, the office of
mental health, office for people with
developmental disabilities, the office of
alcoholism and substance abuse services,
the department of family assistance office
of temporary and disability assistance and
office of children and family services,
the office of medicaid inspector general,
and the state office for the aging with
the approval of the director of the budg-
et, who shall file such approval with the
department of audit and control and copies
thereof with the chairman of the senate

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
finance committee and the chairman of the
assembly ways and means committee.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be used for payments to
the centers for medicaid and medicare
services for obligations incurred related
to the pharmaceutical costs of dually
eligible medicare/medicaid beneficiaries
participating in the medicare drug benefit
authorized by P.L. 108-173.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated
shall not be used for any existing rates,
fees, fee schedule, or procedures which
may affect the cost of care and services
provided by personal care providers, case
managers, health maintenance organiza-
tions, out of state medical facilities
which provide care and services to resi-
dents of the state, providers of transpor-
tation services, that are altered,
amended, adjusted or otherwise changed by
a local social services district unless
previously approved by the department of
health and the director of the budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law to the contrary, funds shall be
made available to the commissioner of the
office of mental health or the commission-
er of the office of alcoholism and
substance abuse services, in consultation
with the commissioner of health and
approved by the director of the budget,
and consistent with appropriations made
therefor, to implement allocation plans
developed by each such commissioner which
shall describe mental health or substance
use disorder services that should be
developed to meet service needs resulting
from the reduction of inpatient behavioral
health services provided under the medi-
caid program, by programs licensed pursu-
ant to article 31 or 32 of the mental
hygiene law. Such programs may include
programs that are licensed pursuant to
both article 31 of the mental hygiene law
and article 28 of the public health law,
or certified under both article 32 of the
mental hygiene law and article 28 of the
public health law.

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may
be available for payments associated with
the resolution by settlement agreement or
judgment of rate appeals and/or litigation
where the department of health is a party.
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation
to the contrary:
1. In the event that receipts, including but
not limited to receipts from the federal
government, are less than the amounts
assumed in the 2017-2018 financial plan,
as determined by the director of the budg-
et, the amount available for payment under
this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by
the director of the budget to offset that
loss in receipts. Such written allocation
plan shall specify the uniform percentage
reductions of the appropriations and
related cash disbursements subject to such
plan, and be filed with the state comp-
troller, the chairperson of the senate
finance committee and the chairperson of
the assembly ways and means committee and
posted on the website of the New York
state division of the budget within five
business days of such filing. The director
of the budget may revise the written allo-
cation plan subsequent to its filing with
the state comptroller, the chairperson of
the senate finance committee and the
chairperson of the assembly ways and means
committee and shall repost revisions that
materially alter such plan; and
2. the commissioner of the department of
health shall have the authority to take
such actions as he or she deems necessary
to implement and/or achieve the reductions
set forth in the written allocation plan
subject to the approval of the director of
the budget, including, but not limited to,
reducing spending and liabilities for
statutorily authorized programs. Such
reductions shall be made in compliance
with any applicable federal law, and to
the extent practicable shall be made:
(a)uniformly against existing liabilities
and spending; and
(b) in a manner that maximizes federal
financial participation, if applicable.
765 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
Provided, however, any reductions made to
this appropriation in accordance with the
above written allocation plan may, at the
discretion of the director of the budget,
be made in lieu of, or in addition to,
adjustments made by the director of the
budget to projected department of health
medicaid state funds disbursements in the
enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
this appropriation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, any of the amounts appro-
priated herein may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with-
out limit, with any appropriation of any
other department, agency or public author-
ity or by transfer or suballocation to any
department, agency or public authority
with the approval of the director of the
budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and non-prescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
766 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer
marketing; the extent of utilization of
the drug; prices for the drug that are
charged to purchasers outside the United
States; prices charged to typical purchas-
ers in the state, including but not limit-
ed to pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharma-
cy wholesalers, or other direct
purchasers; the average rebates and
discounts provided per payer type; and the
average profit margin of each drug over
the prior five-year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug. All information disclosed shall
be considered confidential and shall not
be disclosed by the department of health
in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
767 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
768 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (g-1) of
subdivision 2 of section 365-a of the
social services law, and drugs which are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (a) of
subdivision 4 of section 365-a of the
social services law shall be as follows:
(a) if the drug dispensed is a generic
prescription drug, or is a drug that is
available without a prescription, the
lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
769 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
770 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
771 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
772 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
773 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
774 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
775 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
776 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for Medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
777 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
778 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
For services and expenses of the medical
assistance program including hospital
inpatient services and general hospitals
that are safety-net providers that evince
severe financial distress, pursuant to
criteria determined by the commissioner,
shall be eligible for awards for amounts
appropriated herein, to enable such
providers to maintain operations and vital
services while establishing long term

from the reduction of inpatient behavioral

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may
be available for payments associated with

where the department of health is a party.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and nonprescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer
marketing; the extent of utilization of
the drug; prices for the drug that are
charged to purchasers outside the United
States; prices charged to typical purchas-
ers in the state, including but not limit-
ed to pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharma-
cy wholesalers, or other direct
purchasers; the average rebates and
discounts provided per payer type; and the
average profit margin of each drug over
the prior five-year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug. All information disclosed shall
be considered confidential and shall not
be disclosed by the department of health
in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
790 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
791 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (g-1) of
subdivision 2 of section 365-a of the
social services law, and drugs which are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (a) of
subdivision 4 of section 365-a of the
social services law shall be as follows:
(a) if the drug dispensed is a generic
prescription drug, or is a drug that is
available without a prescription, the
lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
792 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
793 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
794 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
795 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
796 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
797 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the Medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
798 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to Medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
799 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
800 12553-02-7

AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
801 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to Medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state

contrary, subject to federal approval,
department of health state funds medicaid
spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental

excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of
health, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $19,726,075,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019,
shall not exceed $20,797,987,000, but in
no event shall department of health state
funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019
exceed $40,524,062,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, changes to the availability
of federal financial participation in
medicaid expenditures, or change in feder-
al medicaid eligibility criteria,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to
account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid
expenditures as a result of a natural or
other type of disaster, including a
governmental declaration of emergency. The
director of the budget, in consultation
807 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
with the commissioner of health, shall
assess on monthly basis known and project-
ed medicaid expenditures by category of
service and by geographic region, as
determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to
such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to
cause medicaid spending for such period to
exceed the aggregate limit specified here-
in for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of
health, shall develop a medicaid savings
allocation plan to limit such spending to
the aggregate limit specified herein for
such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
808 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
809 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
810 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation
to the contrary:
1. In the event that receipts, including but
not limited to receipts from the federal
government, are less than the amounts
assumed in the 2017-2018 financial plan,
as determined by the director of the budg-
et, the amount available for payment under
this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by
the director of the budget to offset that
loss in receipts. Such written allocation
plan shall specify the uniform percentage
reductions of the appropriations and
related cash disbursements subject to such
plan, and be filed with the state comp-
troller, the chairperson of the senate
finance committee and the chairperson of
the assembly ways and means committee and
posted on the website of the New York
state division of the budget within five
business days of such filing. The director
of the budget may revise the written allo-
cation plan subsequent to its filing with
the state comptroller, the chairperson of
811 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
the senate finance committee and the
chairperson of the assembly ways and means
committee and shall repost revisions that
materially alter such plan; and
2. the commissioner of the department of
health shall have the authority to take
such actions as he or she deems necessary
to implement and/or achieve the reductions
set forth in the written allocation plan
subject to the approval of the director of
the budget, including, but not limited to,
reducing spending and liabilities for
statutorily authorized programs. Such
reductions shall be made in compliance
with any applicable federal law, and to
the extent practicable shall be made:
(a)uniformly against existing liabilities
and spending; and
(b) in a manner that maximizes federal
financial participation, if applicable.
Provided, however, any reductions made to
this appropriation in accordance with the
above written allocation plan may, at the
discretion of the director of the budget,
be made in lieu of, or in addition to,
adjustments made by the director of the
budget to projected department of health
medicaid state funds disbursements in the
enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
this appropriation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, any of the amounts appro-
priated herein may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with-
out limit, with any appropriation of any
other department, agency or public author-
ity or by transfer or suballocation to any
department, agency or public authority
with the approval of the director of the
budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
812 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and non-prescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer
marketing; the extent of utilization of
the drug; prices for the drug that are
charged to purchasers outside the United
States; prices charged to typical purchas-
ers in the state, including but not limit-
ed to pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharma-
cy wholesalers, or other direct
purchasers; the average rebates and
discounts provided per payer type; and the
average profit margin of each drug over
the prior five-year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug. All information disclosed shall
be considered confidential and shall not
be disclosed by the department of health
in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
813 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
814 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (g-1) of
subdivision 2 of section 365-a of the
social services law, and drugs which are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (a) of
subdivision 4 of section 365-a of the
social services law shall be as follows:
(a) if the drug dispensed is a generic
815 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
prescription drug, or is a drug that is
available without a prescription, the
lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
816 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
817 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
818 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
819 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
820 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the Medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
821 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to Medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
822 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
823 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
824 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to

this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,

reform act allowances and surcharges
pursuant to article 28 of the public
health law and deposited to this account
less any such amounts withheld pursuant to

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state
finance law or any other law to the
contrary, all medical assistance appropri-
ations made from this account shall remain
in full force and effect in accordance, in
the aggregate, with the following sched-
ule: not more than 50 percent for the
period April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018;
and the remaining amount for the period
April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019, provided
however, the director of the budget may
(i) decrease the lapse date of appropri-
ations heretofore enacted for the period
from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 to a
date between April 1, 2017 to September
14, 2017 as determined by the director of
the budget with notice to the state comp-
troller, and (ii) reduce the availability
of funds under appropriations enacted for
the period April 1, 2017 to March 31,

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state
finance law or any provision of law to the
contrary, subject to federal approval,
department of health state funds medicaid
spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities
operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental
disabilities and the office of alcoholism
and substance abuse services and further
excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of
health, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $19,726,075,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019,
shall not exceed $20,797,987,000, but in
827 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

no event shall department of health state
funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019
exceed $40,524,062,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, changes to the availability
of federal financial participation in
medicaid expenditures, or change in feder-
al medicaid eligibility criteria,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency. The director of the
budget, in consultation with the commis-
sioner of health, shall assess on a month-
ly basis known and projected medicaid
expenditures by category of service and by
geographic region, as determined by the
commissioner of health, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
828 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
829 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
830 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
831 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation
to the contrary:
1. In the event that receipts, including but
not limited to receipts from the federal
government, are less than the amounts
assumed in the 2017-2018 financial plan,
as determined by the director of the budg-
et, the amount available for payment under
this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by
the director of the budget to offset that
loss in receipts. Such written allocation
plan shall specify the uniform percentage
reductions of the appropriations and
related cash disbursements subject to such
plan, and be filed with the state comp-
troller, the chairperson of the senate
finance committee and the chairperson of
the assembly ways and means committee and
posted on the website of the New York
state division of the budget within five
business days of such filing. The director
of the budget may revise the written allo-
cation plan subsequent to its filing with
the state comptroller, the chairperson of
the senate finance committee and the
chairperson of the assembly ways and means
committee and shall repost revisions that
materially alter such plan; and
2. the commissioner of the department of
health shall have the authority to take
such actions as he or she deems necessary
to implement and/or achieve the reductions
set forth in the written allocation plan
subject to the approval of the director of
the budget, including, but not limited to,
reducing spending and liabilities for
statutorily authorized programs. Such
reductions shall be made in compliance
with any applicable federal law, and to
the extent practicable shall be made:
(a)uniformly against existing liabilities
and spending; and
(b) in a manner that maximizes federal
financial participation, if applicable.
Provided, however, any reductions made to
this appropriation in accordance with the
above written allocation plan may, at the
832 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
discretion of the director of the budget,
be made in lieu of, or in addition to,
adjustments made by the director of the
budget to projected department of health
medicaid state funds disbursements in the
enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
this appropriation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, any of the amounts appro-
priated herein may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with-
out limit, with any appropriation of any
other department, agency or public author-
ity or by transfer or suballocation to any
department, agency or public authority
with the approval of the director of the
budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and non-prescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-
833 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer
marketing; the extent of utilization of
the drug; prices for the drug that are
charged to purchasers outside the United
States; prices charged to typical purchas-
ers in the state, including but not limit-
ed to pharmacies, pharmacy chains, pharma-
cy wholesalers, or other direct
purchasers; the average rebates and
discounts provided per payer type; and the
average profit margin of each drug over
the prior five-year period and the
projected profit margin anticipated for
such drug. All information disclosed shall
be considered confidential and shall not
be disclosed by the department of health
in a form that identifies a specific
manufacturer or prices charged for drugs
by such manufacturer, except as the
commissioner of health determines is
necessary to carry out this section, or to
allow the department, the attorney gener-
al, the state comptroller, or the centers
for medicare and medicaid services to
perform audits or investigations author-
ized by law.
(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
834 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
835 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to section 365-a(2)(g-1)
of the social services law, and drugs
which are available without a prescription
as required by section 6810 of the educa-
tion law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to section 365-a(4)(a) of
the social services law shall be as
follows: (a) if the drug dispensed is a
generic prescription drug, or is a drug
that is available without a prescription,
the lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
836 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
837 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
838 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
839 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
840 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
841 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the Medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
842 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to Medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
843 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.

Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
845 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
For the purpose of making payments, the
money hereby appropriated is available for
payment of aid heretofore accrued or here-
after accrued, to providers of medical
care pursuant to section 367-b of the
social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the feder-
al government where payment systems
through fiscal intermediaries are not
operational, to reimburse such providers
for costs attributable to the provision of
care to patients eligible for medical
assistance. Notwithstanding any inconsist-

ent provision of law, the moneys hereby
appropriated may be increased or decreased
by interchange or transfer with any appro-
priation of the department of health with
the approval of the director of the budg-

operated by the office of mental health,
the office for people with developmental
disabilities and the office of alcoholism
and substance abuse services and further
excluding any payments which are not
appropriated within the department of
health, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018,
shall not exceed $19,726,075,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid
spending, in the aggregate, for the period
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019,
shall not exceed $20,797,987,000, but in
no event shall department of health state
funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019
exceed $40,524,062,000 provided, however,
such aggregate limits may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal
medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social
security act, changes to the availability
of federal financial participation in
medicaid expenditures, or change in feder-
al medicaid eligibility criteria,
increases in provider revenues, reductions
in local social services district payments
for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April
1, 2012 the operational costs of the New
York state medical indemnity fund, pursu-
ant to chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and
state costs or savings from the essential
plan. Such projections may be adjusted by
the director of the budget to account for
increased or expedited department of
health state funds medicaid expenditures
as a result of a natural or other type of
disaster, including a governmental decla-
ration of emergency. The director of the
budget, in consultation with the commis-
sioner of health, shall assess on monthly
basis known and projected medicaid expend-
itures by category of service and by
geographic region, as determined by the
commissioner of health, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director
849 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
of the budget determines that such expend-
itures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in
consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allo-
cation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such
period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall
be designed, to reduce the expenditures
authorized by the appropriations herein in
compliance with the following guidelines:
(1) reductions shall be made in compliance
with applicable federal law, including the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law No. 111-
148, and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law No.
111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care
Act") and any subsequent amendments there-
to or regulations promulgated thereunder;
(2) reductions shall be made in a manner
that complies with the state medicaid plan
approved by the federal centers for medi-
care and medicaid services, provided,
however, that the commissioner of health
is authorized to submit any state plan
amendment or seek other federal approval,
including waiver authority, to implement
the provisions of the medicaid savings
allocation plan that meets the other
criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions
shall be made in a manner that maximizes
federal financial participation, to the
extent practicable, including any federal
financial participation that is available
or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commission-
er, under the Affordable Care Act; (4)
reductions shall be made uniformly among
categories of services and geographic
regions of the state, to the extent prac-
ticable, and shall be made uniformly with-
in a category of service, to the extent
practicable, except where the commissioner
determines that there are sufficient
grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which
specific categories of services contrib-
850 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
uted to department of health medicaid
state funds spending in excess of the
limits specified herein; the need to main-
tain safety net services in underserved
communities; or the potential benefits of
pursuing innovative payment models contem-
plated by the Affordable Care Act, in
which case such grounds shall be set forth
in the medicaid savings allocation plan;
and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create
administrative burdens to medicaid appli-
cants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the
legislature, as well as organizations
representing health care providers,
consumers, businesses, workers, health
insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings
allocation plan, to the extent that all or
part of such plan, in the discretion of
the commissioner, is likely to have a
material impact on the overall medicaid
program, particular categories of service
or particular geographic regions of the
state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid
savings allocation plan on the department
of health's website and shall provide
written copies of such plan to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly
ways and means committees at least 30 days
before the date on which implementation is
expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid
savings allocation plan subsequent to the
provisions of notice and prior to imple-
mentation but needs to provide a new
notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of
this paragraph only if the commissioner
determines, in his or her discretion, that
such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this subdivision, the
commissioner need not seek the input
described in paragraph (a) of this subdi-
vision or provide notice pursuant to para-
graph (b) of this subdivision if, in the
discretion of the commissioner, expedited
development and implementation of a medi-
caid savings allocation plan is necessary
due to a public health emergency.
851 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
For purposes of this section, a public
health emergency is defined as: (i) a
disaster, natural or otherwise, that
significantly increases the immediate need
for health care personnel in an area of
the state; (ii) an event or condition that
creates a widespread risk of exposure to a
serious communicable disease, or the
potential for such widespread risk of
exposure; or (iii) any other event or
condition determined by the commissioner
to constitute an imminent threat to public
health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
prevent all or part of such medicaid
savings allocation plan from taking effect
retroactively to the extent permitted by
the federal centers for medicare and medi-
caid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings
allocation plan, the commissioner of the
department of health shall reduce depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid spend-
ing by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but
not limited to modifying or suspending
reimbursement methods, including but not
limited to all fees, premium levels and
rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific
amount or methodology for any such
payments or rates of payment; modifying
medicaid program benefits; seeking all
necessary federal approvals, including,
but not limited to waivers, waiver amend-
ments; and suspending time frames for
notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any
provision of law, rule or regulation to
the contrary, including but not limited to
sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a
monthly report that sets forth: (a) known
and projected department of health medi-
caid expenditures as described in subdivi-
sion (1) of this section, and factors that
could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed
the projected department of health state
funds disbursements in the enacted budget
852 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
financial plan pursuant to subdivision 3
of section 23 of the state finance law,
including spending increases or decreases
due to: enrollment fluctuations, rate
changes, utilization changes, MRT invest-
ments, and shift of beneficiaries to
managed care; and variations in offline
medicaid payments; and (b) the actions
taken to implement any medicaid savings
allocation plan implemented pursuant to
subdivision (4) of this section, including
information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and
each geographic region of the state. Each
such monthly report shall be provided to
the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation
to the contrary:
1. In the event that receipts, including but
not limited to receipts from the federal
government, are less than the amounts
assumed in the 2017-2018 financial plan,
as determined by the director of the budg-
et, the amount available for payment under
this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by
the director of the budget to offset that
loss in receipts. Such written allocation
plan shall specify the uniform percentage
reductions of the appropriations and
related cash disbursements subject to such
plan, and be filed with the state comp-
troller, the chairperson of the senate
finance committee and the chairperson of
the assembly ways and means committee and
posted on the website of the New York
state division of the budget within five
business days of such filing. The director
of the budget may revise the written allo-
cation plan subsequent to its filing with
the state comptroller, the chairperson of
the senate finance committee and the
chairperson of the assembly ways and means
committee and shall repost revisions that
materially alter such plan; and
2. the commissioner of the department of
health shall have the authority to take
such actions as he or she deems necessary
853 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
to implement and/or achieve the reductions
set forth in the written allocation plan
subject to the approval of the director of
the budget, including, but not limited to,
reducing spending and liabilities for
statutorily authorized programs. Such
reductions shall be made in compliance
with any applicable federal law, and to
the extent practicable shall be made:
(a)uniformly against existing liabilities
and spending; and
(b) in a manner that maximizes federal
financial participation, if applicable.
Provided, however, any reductions made to
this appropriation in accordance with the
above written allocation plan may, at the
discretion of the director of the budget,
be made in lieu of, or in addition to,
adjustments made by the director of the
budget to projected department of health
medicaid state funds disbursements in the
enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
this appropriation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law
to the contrary, any of the amounts appro-
priated herein may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with-
out limit, with any appropriation of any
other department, agency or public author-
ity or by transfer or suballocation to any
department, agency or public authority
with the approval of the director of the
budget.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019:
(a) The department of health may identify
for review drugs which: when first intro-
duced on the market, are prohibitively
expensive for patients who could benefit
from the drug; which suddenly or over a
relatively brief period of time experience
a large price increase and such increase
is not explained by a significant increase
in ingredient costs or by some other rele-
vant factor; or are priced dispropor-
tionally given that they offer limited
therapeutic benefits. Drugs identified by
the department of health for review may
include brand name or generic drugs, drugs
produced by multiple manufacturers or by a
854 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
single manufacturer, drugs reimbursed by
commercial and/or public payers, and
prescription and non-prescription drugs.
(b) The department of health may request,
and drug manufacturers shall provide
information with respect to drugs identi-
fied by the department for review, includ-
ing: the actual cost of developing, manu-
facturing, producing (including the cost
per dose of production), and distributing
the drug; research and development costs
of the drug, including payments to prede-
cessor entities conducting research and
development, such as biotechnology compa-
nies, universities and medical schools,
and private research institutions; admin-
istrative, marketing, and advertising
costs for the drug, apportioned by market-
ing activities that are directed to
consumers, marketing activities that are
directed to prescribers, and the total
cost of all marketing and advertising that
is directed primarily to consumers and
prescribers in New York, including but not
limited to prescriber detailing, copayment
discount programs, and direct-to-consumer

(c) The department of health may refer
cost and pricing information collected
pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this para-
graph with respect to a drug to the drug
utilization review board established by
section 369-bb of the social services law
and request the board to determine a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
the drug, taking into consideration such
cost and pricing information as well as
other factors, including but not limited
to: the seriousness and prevalence of the
disease or condition that is treated by
the drug; the extent of utilization of the
drug; the effectiveness of the drug in
treating the conditions for which it is
prescribed; the likelihood that use of the
drug will reduce the need for other
medical care, including hospitalization;
the average wholesale price and retail
price of the drug; the number of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers that produce the
drug; and whether there are pharmaceutical
equivalents to the drug.
(d) If the price at which a drug is being
sold by a manufacturer exceeds the bench-
mark price for the drug determined by the
drug utilization review board pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, the
commissioner of health shall designate
such drug a high priced drug. The commis-
sioner shall publish on the department of
health website a list of drugs designated
as high priced drugs pursuant to this
subparagraph, along with the date on which
each drug first appeared on that list and
the benchmark price for such drug deter-
mined by the drug utilization review
board.
(e) The commissioner of health may require
a drug manufacturer to provide rebates to
the department of health for a drug deter-
mined to be a high priced drug pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph when
such drug is paid for under the medicaid
program. Any such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law and
shall apply to drugs dispensed to enrol-
lees of managed care providers pursuant to
section 364-j of the social services law
856 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
and to drugs dispensed to medicaid recipi-
ents who are not enrollees of such provid-
ers.
(f) The duties of the drug utilization
review board established by section 369-bb
of the social services law shall be
expanded to include reviewing the costs
and pricing of specific drugs submitted by
the department of health pursuant to
subparagraph (c) of this paragraph, and
formulating recommendations as to a
value-based, per-unit benchmark price for
such drugs. For this purpose, the member-
ship of the drug utilization review board
shall be increased by four members: two
health care economists, one actuary, and
one representative of the department of
financial services.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
without the identification of high cost
drugs and the collection of supplemental
medicaid rebates from the manufacturers of
such drugs, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, medicaid payments for
drugs dispensed by pharmacies which may
not be dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (g-1) of
subdivision 2 of section 365-a of the
social services law, and drugs which are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law and are covered by the medicaid
program pursuant to paragraph (a) of
subdivision 4 of section 365-a of the
social services law shall be as follows:
(a) if the drug dispensed is a generic
prescription drug, or is a drug that is
available without a prescription, the
lower of: (i) an amount equal to the
national average drug acquisition cost set
by the federal centers for medicare and
medicaid services for the drug, if any, or
857 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
if such amount is not available, the
wholesale acquisition cost of the drug
based on the package size dispensed from,
as reported by the prescription drug pric-
ing service used by the department, less
seventeen and one-half percent thereof;
(ii) the federal upper limit, if any,
established by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services; (iii) the
state maximum acquisition cost if any,
established by the department of health
using a similar methodology as that
utilized by the centers for medicare and
medicaid services in establishing the
federal upper payment limit; or (iv) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public; (b)
if the drug dispensed is a brand-name
prescription drug, the lower of: (i) an
amount equal to the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drug, if any, or if such amount is
not available, the wholesale acquisition
cost of the drug based on the package size
dispensed from, as reported by the
prescription drug pricing service used by
the department, less three and three
tenths percent thereof; or (ii) the
dispensing pharmacy's usual and customary
price charged to the general public. In
addition to such payments, the department
shall pay a professional pharmacy dispens-
ing fee for each such drug dispensed in
the amount of $10 per prescription or
written order of a practitioner; provided,
however that this professional dispensing
fee will not apply to drugs that are
available without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but do not meet the definition of a
covered outpatient drug pursuant to
section 1927K of the social security act.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the department of health to deter-
mine the Medicaid reimbursement of drugs
without using a methodology that includes
consideration of the national average drug
acquisition cost set by the federal
centers for medicare and medicaid services
for the drugs or otherwise complies with
858 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
federal medicaid requirements for
reimbursement of covered outpatient drugs,
then the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply and shall be considered
null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall require, with respect to Medicaid
reimbursement of drugs, prior authori-
zation for any refill of a prescription
for a controlled substance, as defined in
section 3302 of the public health law,
when more than a seven-day supply of the
previously dispensed amount should remain
were the product used as normally indi-
cated. Provided, however, if this chapter
appropriates sufficient additional funds
to allow medicaid to pay for refills of
prescriptions for controlled substances,
without prior authorization, when up to a
ten-day supply of the previously dispensed
amount should remain were the product used
as normally indicated, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medical assistance
program may authorize payment for a drug
that is not on the preferred drug list
established pursuant to section 272 of the
public health law if certain criteria are
met, including: (a) the preferred drug has
been tried by the patient and has failed
to produce the desired health outcomes;
(b) the patient has tried the preferred
drug and has experienced unacceptable side
effects; (c) the patient has been stabi-
lized on a non-preferred drug and transi-
tion to the preferred drug would be
medically contraindicated; or (d) other
clinical indications identified by the
committee for the patient's use of the
non-preferred drug, which shall include
consideration of the medical needs of
special populations, including children,
elderly, chronically ill, persons with
mental health conditions, and persons
859 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
affected by HIV/AIDS. In the event that
the patient does not meet this criteria,
the prescriber may provide additional
information to the medical assistance
program to justify the use of the drug.
The medical assistance program shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the
prescriber to reasonably present his or
her justification of prior authorization.
The medical assistance program will
consider the additional information and
the justification presented to determine
whether the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted. In the case of atypical anti-
psychotics and antidepressants, if after
consultation with the medical assistance
program, the prescriber, in his or her
reasonable professional judgment, deter-
mines that the use of a prescription drug
that is not on the preferred drug list is
warranted, the prescriber's determination
shall be final. In addition, managed care
providers participating in the medical
assistance program shall be required to
cover non-formulary drugs for medical
assistance recipients only if such drugs
are in the atypical antipsychotic and
antidepressant therapeutic classes and if
the prescriber, after consulting with the
managed care provider, demonstrates that
such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable
professional judgment, are medically
necessary and warranted. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
medical assistance program to pay for
drugs, other than drugs in the atypical
antipsychotic and antidepressant therapeu-
tic classes, that are not on the preferred
drug list or on the formulary of a managed
care provider participating in the medical
assistance program based solely on the
determination of the prescriber that the
use of the drugs is warranted, then the
provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, a physician licensed
860 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
pursuant to article 131 of the education
law shall be authorized to voluntarily
establish a comprehensive medication
management protocol with a qualified phar-
macist to provide comprehensive medication
management services for a patient who has
not met clinical goals of therapy, is at
risk for hospitalization, or whom the
physician deems to need comprehensive
medication management services. Partic-
ipation by the patient in comprehensive
medication management services shall be
voluntary. Under a comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol, a qualified
pharmacist shall be permitted to: (a)
adjust or manage a drug regimen of the
patient, which may include adjusting drug
strength, frequency of administration or
route of administration, discontinuance of
therapy or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed by
the patient's physician; (b) evaluate the
need for, and order or perform routine
patient monitoring functions or disease
state laboratory tests related solely to
comprehensive medication management for
the specific chronic disease or diseases
specified within the comprehensive medica-
tion management protocol; (c) access the
complete patient medical record maintained
by the physician with whom he or she has
the comprehensive medication management
protocol and document any adjustments made
pursuant to the protocol in the patient's
medical record and notify the patient's
treating physician in a timely manner
electronically or by other means. Under no
circumstances shall the qualified pharma-
cist be permitted to delegate comprehen-
sive medication management services to any
other licensed pharmacist or other pharma-
cy personnel. Any medication adjustments
made by the qualified pharmacist pursuant
to the comprehensive medication management
protocol, including adjustments in drug
strength, frequency or route of adminis-
tration, or initiation of a drug which
differs from that initially prescribed and
as documented in the patient medical
record, shall be deemed an oral
prescription authorized by an agent of the
patient's treating physician and shall be
861 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
dispensed consistent with section 6810 of
article 137 of the education law. A
physician licensed pursuant to article 131
of the education law who has responsibil-
ity for the treatment and care of a
patient for a chronic disease or diseases
may refer the patient to a qualified phar-
macist for comprehensive medication
management services, pursuant to the
comprehensive medication management proto-
col that the physician has established
with the qualified pharmacist. Such
referral shall be documented in the
patient's medical record. For purposes of
this paragraph: (a) "qualified pharmacist"
means a pharmacist who maintains a current
unrestricted license pursuant to article
137 of the education law and who has
completed one or more programs, accredited
by the accreditation council for pharmacy
education, for the medication management
of a chronic disease or diseases; (b)
"comprehensive medication management"
means a program that ensures a patient's
medications, whether prescription or
nonprescription, are individually assessed
to determine that each medication is
appropriate for the patient, effective for
the medical condition, safe given comor-
bidities and other medications being
taken, and able to be taken by the patient
as intended; and (c) "comprehensive medi-
cation management protocol" means a writ-
ten document pursuant to and consistent
with any applicable state and federal
requirements, that is entered into volun-
tarily by a physician licensed pursuant to
article 131 of the education law and a
qualified pharmacist which addresses a
chronic disease or diseases and that
describes the nature and scope of the
comprehensive medication management
services to be performed by the qualified
pharmacist. Comprehensive medication
management protocols between physicians
and qualified pharmacists shall be made
available to the department of health for
review and to ensure compliance with this
paragraph, upon request. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow medicaid
to pay the costs of additional services,
862 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
including hospitalization, needed by
recipients with chronic diseases who do
not achieve clinical goals of therapy due
to the lack of comprehensive medication
management, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may by regulation specify certain drugs
which may be dispensed without a
prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law that shall be reim-
bursed by the medicaid program in accord-
ance with a price schedule established by
such commissioner. Amendments to the
regulation specifying medicaid reimbursa-
ble, nonprescription drugs may be adopted
by the commissioner of health on an emer-
gency basis. The copayment charged for
drugs dispensed without a prescription as
required by section 6810 of the education
law but which are reimbursed by the medi-
caid program shall be one dollar.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow the medicaid program to continue to
cover drugs which may be dispensed without
a prescription as required by section 6810
of the education law with a required
copayment of only $0.50, and without the
ability to remove drugs from the list of
covered over-the-counter drugs by means of
emergency rulemaking, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
may require manufacturers of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs, as such terms are
defined at 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8(k), to
provide rebates to the department of
health for generic drugs covered by the
medical assistance program whose prices
increase at a rate greater than the rate
863 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
of inflation. Such rebates shall be in
addition to any rebates payable to the
department of health pursuant to any other
provision of federal or state law. In
determining the amount of such additional
rebates for generic drugs, the commission-
er of health may use a methodology similar
to that used by the centers for medicare
and medicaid services in determining the
amount of any additional rebates for
single source and innovator multiple
source drugs, as set forth at 42 U.S.C. §
1396-8. The additional rebates authorized
pursuant to this paragraph shall apply to
generic prescription drugs dispensed to
medical assistance enrollees of managed
care providers pursuant to section 364-j
of the social services law and to generic
prescription drugs dispensed to medical
assistance recipients who are not enrol-
lees of such providers. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to allow medical assist-
ance to pay for the cost of drugs other
than single source drugs and innovator
multiple source drugs without the receipt
of additional rebates, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
shall, to the extent necessary, submit the
appropriate waivers, including but not
limited to those authorized pursuant to
sections 1115 and 1915 of the federal
social security act or successor
provisions, and any other waivers neces-
sary to allow, effective October 1, 2017,
limiting enrollment in managed long term
care plans certified under section 4403-f
of the public health law to medicaid
recipients who are in need of nursing
facility level of care. This limitation
would not apply to medical assistance
recipients already enrolled in a managed
long term care plan on October 1, 2017;
however, if such recipients are disen-
rolled from their managed long term care
plan, a need for nursing facility level of
864 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
care would be a prerequisite for subse-
quent enrollment in a managed long term
care plan. Provided, however, if this
chapter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to pay for medicaid coverage of
services provided or arranged by managed
long term care plans for recipients who
are not in need of nursing facility level
of care, then the provisions of this para-
graph shall not apply and shall be consid-
ered null and void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not pay residential health care facilities
to reserve beds for medicaid recipients
while they are temporarily hospitalized or
on leave of absence from the facility, and
shall establish a prospective per diem
adjustment to medicaid payments to resi-
dential health care facilities, other than
residential health care facilities provid-
ing services primarily to children under
the age of twenty-one, to achieve
$18,000,000 in savings to the medicaid
program. Provided, however, if this chap-
ter appropriates sufficient additional
funds to allow the department of health to
continue to make such reserved bed
payments and to avoid making a prospective
per diem adjustment to medicaid payments
to residential health care facilities to
achieve $18,000,000 in savings to the
medicaid program, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, benefits under the medical
assistance program shall be furnished to
applicants in cases where, although such
applicant has a responsible relative with
sufficient income and resources to provide
medical assistance, the income and
resources of the responsible relative are
not available to such applicant because of
the absence of such relative and the
refusal or failure of such absent relative
to provide the necessary care and assist-
865 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
ance. In such cases, however, the furnish-
ing of such assistance shall create an
implied contract with such relative, and
the cost thereof may be recovered from
such relative in accordance with title 6
of article 3 of the social services law
and other applicable provisions of law.
Provided, however, if this chapter appro-
priates sufficient additional funds to
allow medical assistance to be furnished
in situations in which a responsible rela-
tive who is not absent from the household
fails or refuses to provide necessary care
and assistance, then the provisions of
this paragraph shall not apply and shall
be considered null and void as of March
31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the commissioner of health
is authorized to assume responsibility
from a local social services official for
the provision and reimbursement of trans-
portation costs under the medicaid
program. If the commissioner of health
elects to assume such responsibility, he
or she shall notify the local social
services official in writing as to the
election, the date upon which the election
shall be effective, and such information
as to transition of responsibilities as he
or she deems prudent. The commissioner of
health is authorized to contract with a
transportation manager or managers to
manage transportation services in any
local social services district, including
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of medicaid managed
care and managed long term care plans. Any
transportation manager or managers
selected by the commissioner of health to
manage transportation services shall have
proven experience in coordinating trans-
portation services in a geographic and
demographic area similar to the area in
New York state within which the contractor
would manage the provision of medicaid
transportation services. Such a contract
or contracts may include responsibility
for: review, approval and processing of
transportation orders; management of the
866 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
appropriate level of transportation based
on documented patient medical need; and
development of new technologies leading to
efficient transportation services. If the
commissioner of health elects to assume
such responsibility from a local social
services district, he or she shall examine
and, if appropriate, adopt quality assur-
ance measures that may include, but are
not limited to, global positioning track-
ing system reporting requirements and
service verification mechanisms. Any and
all reimbursement rates developed by Medi-
caid transportation managers shall be
subject to the review and approval of the
commissioner of health. Provided, however,
if this chapter appropriates sufficient
additional funds to pay for medicaid
transportation services provided or
arranged for enrollees of managed long
term care plans without the use of a
transportation manager or managers, then
the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply and shall be considered null and
void as of March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make a supplemental payment of up to
$6,000,000 to providers of emergency
medical transportation. Provided, howev-
er, if this chapter appropriates suffi-
cient additional funds to allow the
department of health to make such a
supplemental payment, then the provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply and
shall be considered null and void as of
March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision
of law, rule or regulation to the contra-
ry, for the period April 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2019, the medicaid program shall
not make adjustments to payments for
transportation of eligible persons for the
purpose of providing increased access to
medicaid non-emergency transportation in
rural communities. Provided, however, if
this chapter appropriates sufficient addi-
tional funds to allow the department of
health to make such adjustments to medi-
caid payments for transportation of eligi-
867 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES 2017-18
ble persons, then the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply and shall be
considered null and void as of March 31,
2017.
For the purpose of making payments to
providers of medical care pursuant to
section 367-b of the social services law,
and for payment of state aid to munici-
palities and the federal government where
payment systems through fiscal interme-
diaries are not operational, to reimburse
the provision of care to patients eligible
for medical assistance.
For services and expenses of the medical

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, the portion of this appropri-

this appropriation may be reduced by the
director of the budget in accordance with
a written allocation plan promulgated by
the director of the budget to offset that

shall department of health state funds medicaid spending for the
period April 1, 2016 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 exceed
[$38,409,118,000] $38,504,587,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance
percentage amount established pursuant to the federal social securi-
ty act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in local social
services district payments for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012 the operational
costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or savings from the
[basic health plan program] ESSENTIAL PLAN. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
mental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget, in
consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on a
893 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2017-18
monthly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category
of service and by geographic region, as determined by the commis-
sioner of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such
assessment for each such period, and if the director of the budget
determines that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid
spending for such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified
herein for such period, the state medicaid director, in consultation
with the director of the budget and the commissioner of health,
shall develop a medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such
spending to the aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.

(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,

rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.

finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means
committee.

authorized by the social services law, or payments of federal funds
otherwise due to the local social services districts for programs
provided under the federal social security act or the federal food
stamp act, funds herein appropriated, in amounts certified by the

Local Assistance Account - 10000
The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2016, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
For the medical assistance program, including administrative expenses,
for local social services districts, and for medical care rates for
authorized child care agencies.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any other law
to the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made from
this account shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in
the aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 49 percent
for the period April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017; and the remaining
amount for the period April 1, 2017 to [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15,
2018.
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services and
further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2016
through March 31, 2017, shall not exceed $18,778,512,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, shall not

department of health state funds medicaid spending for the period
April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018 exceed [$38,409,118,000]
$38,504,587,000 provided, however, such aggregate limits may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to account for any changes in
the New York state federal medical assistance percentage amount
established pursuant to the federal social security act, increases
in provider revenues, reductions in local social services district
payments for medical assistance administration, minimum wage
increases and beginning April 1, 2012 the operational costs of the
New York state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to chapter 59 of the
laws of 2011, and state costs or savings from the [basic health plan
program] ESSENTIAL PLAN. Such projections may be adjusted by the
director of the budget to account for increased or expedited depart-
ment of health state funds medicaid expenditures as a result of a
natural or other type of disaster, including a governmental declara-
tion of emergency. The director of the budget, in consultation with
the commissioner of health, shall assess on a monthly basis known
and projected medicaid expenditures by category of service and by
geographic region, as defined by the commissioner, incurred both
prior to and subsequent to such assessment for each such period, and
if the director of the budget determines that such expenditures are
expected to cause medicaid spending for such period to exceed the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the state medicaid
director, in consultation with the director of the budget and the
commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid savings allocation
904 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2017-18
plan to limit such spending to the aggregate limit specified herein
for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
905 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2017-18
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying or discontinuing medi-
caid program benefits; seeking all necessary federal approvals,
including, but not limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and
suspending time frames for notice, approval or certification of rate
requirements, notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regu-
lation to the contrary, including but not limited to sections 2807
and 3614 of the public health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the
laws of 1988, and 18 NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and

The appropriation made by chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2016, is
hereby amended and reappropriated to read:
Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any other law
to the contrary, all medical assistance appropriations made from
this account shall remain in full force and effect in accordance, in
the aggregate, with the following schedule: not more than 52 percent
for the period April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017; and the remaining

Notwithstanding section 40 of the state finance law or any provision
of law to the contrary, subject to federal approval, department of
health state funds medicaid spending, excluding payments for medical
services provided at state facilities operated by the office of
mental health, the office for people with developmental disabilities
and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services and
further excluding any payments which are not appropriated within the
department of health, in the aggregate, for the period April 1, 2016
through March 31, 2017, shall not exceed $18,778,512,000 except as
provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,
for the period April 1, 2017 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2018,

[$38,409,118,000] $38,504,587,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance
percentage amount established pursuant to the federal social securi-
ty act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in local social
services district payments for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012 the operational
costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or savings from the
[basic health plan] ESSENTIAL PLAN program. Such projections may be
adjusted by the director of the budget to account for increased or
expedited department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as
a result of a natural or other type of disaster, including a govern-
mental declaration of emergency. The director of the budget, in
consultation with the commissioner of health, shall assess on month-
ly basis known and projected medicaid expenditures by category of
service and by geographic region, as determined by the commissioner
of health, incurred both prior to and subsequent to such assessment
for each such period, and if the director of the budget determines
that such expenditures are expected to cause medicaid spending for
such period to exceed the aggregate limit specified herein for such
period, the state medicaid director, in consultation with the direc-
tor of the budget and the commissioner of health, shall develop a
medicaid savings allocation plan to limit such spending to the
aggregate limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
924 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2017-18
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid

(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health
state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h). The department of health shall prepare a monthly
report that sets forth: (a) known and projected department of health
medicaid expenditures as described in subdivision (1) of this
section, and factors that could result in medicaid disbursements for
the relevant state fiscal year to exceed the projected department of
health state funds disbursements in the enacted budget financial
plan pursuant to subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance
law, including spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment
fluctuations, rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments,
and shift of beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in
offline medicaid payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement
any medicaid savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdi-
vision (4) of this section, including information concerning the
impact of such actions on each category of service and each
geographic region of the state. Each such monthly report shall be
provided to the chairs of the senate finance and the assembly ways
and means committees and shall be posted on the department of
health's website in a timely manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities where payment systems through fiscal
intermediaries are not operational, to reimburse such providers for
costs attributable to the provision of care to patients eligible for

health care reform act allowances and surcharges pursuant to article
28 of the public health law and deposited to this account less any
such amounts withheld pursuant to subdivision 21 of section 2807-c
of the public health law. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
provision of law, the moneys hereby appropriated may be increased or
decreased by interchange or transfer with any appropriation of the
department of health with the approval of the director of the budg-
et, who shall file such approval with the department of audit and
control and copies thereof with the chairman of the senate finance
committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee.

ET, THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT UNDER THIS APPROPRIATION MAY BE
REDUCED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET IN ACCORDANCE WITH A WRITTEN

provided below and state share medicaid spending, in the aggregate,

shall not exceed [$19,630,606,000] $19,726,075,000, but in no event
shall department of health state funds medicaid spending for the
period April 1, 2016 through [March 31] SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 exceed
[$38,409,118,000] $38,504,587,000 provided, however, such aggregate
limits may be adjusted by the director of the budget to account for
any changes in the New York state federal medical assistance
percentage amount established pursuant to the federal social securi-
ty act, increases in provider revenues, reductions in local social
services district payments for medical assistance administration,
minimum wage increases and beginning April 1, 2012 the operational
costs of the New York state medical indemnity fund, pursuant to
chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, and state costs or savings from the
[basic health plan] ESSENTIAL PLAN. Such projections may be adjusted
by the director of the budget to account for increased or expedited
department of health state funds medicaid expenditures as a result
of a natural or other type of disaster, including a governmental
declaration of emergency. The director of the budget, in consulta-
tion with the commissioner of health, shall assess on monthly basis
known and projected medicaid expenditures by category of service and
by geographic region, as determined by the commissioner of health,
incurred both prior to and subsequent to such assessment for each
such period, and if the director of the budget determines that such
expenditures are expected to cause medicaid spending for such period
to exceed the aggregate limit specified herein for such period, the
state medicaid director, in consultation with the director of the
budget and the commissioner of health, shall develop a medicaid
savings allocation plan to limit such spending to the aggregate
limit specified herein for such period.
Such medicaid savings allocation plan shall be designed, to reduce the
expenditures authorized by the appropriations herein in compliance
with the following guidelines: (1) reductions shall be made in
compliance with applicable federal law, including the provisions of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law No.
111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010, Public Law No. 111-152 (collectively "Affordable Care Act")
and any subsequent amendments thereto or regulations promulgated
thereunder; (2) reductions shall be made in a manner that complies
with the state medicaid plan approved by the federal centers for
medicare and medicaid services, provided, however, that the commis-
sioner of health is authorized to submit any state plan amendment or
seek other federal approval, including waiver authority, to imple-
ment the provisions of the medicaid savings allocation plan that
meets the other criteria set forth herein; (3) reductions shall be
made in a manner that maximizes federal financial participation, to
the extent practicable, including any federal financial partic-
ipation that is available or is reasonably expected to become avail-
able, in the discretion of the commissioner, under the Affordable
Care Act; (4) reductions shall be made uniformly among categories of
933 12553-02-7
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AID TO LOCALITIES - REAPPROPRIATIONS 2017-18
services and geographic regions of the state, to the extent practi-
cable, and shall be made uniformly within a category of service, to
the extent practicable, except where the commissioner determines
that there are sufficient grounds for non-uniformity, including but
not limited to: the extent to which specific categories of services
contributed to department of health medicaid state funds spending in
excess of the limits specified herein; the need to maintain safety
net services in underserved communities; or the potential benefits
of pursuing innovative payment models contemplated by the Affordable
Care Act, in which case such grounds shall be set forth in the medi-
caid savings allocation plan; and (5) reductions shall be made in a
manner that does not unnecessarily create administrative burdens to
medicaid applicants and recipients or providers.
The commissioner shall seek the input of the legislature, as well as
organizations representing health care providers, consumers, busi-
nesses, workers, health insurers, and others with relevant exper-
tise, in developing such medicaid savings allocation plan, to the
extent that all or part of such plan, in the discretion of the
commissioner, is likely to have a material impact on the overall
medicaid program, particular categories of service or particular
geographic regions of the state.
(a) The commissioner shall post the medicaid savings allocation plan
on the department of health's website and shall provide written
copies of such plan to the chairs of the senate finance and the
assembly ways and means committees at least 30 days before the date
on which implementation is expected to begin.
(b) The commissioner may revise the medicaid savings allocation plan
subsequent to the provisions of notice and prior to implementation
but need provide a new notice pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this
paragraph only if the commissioner determines, in his or her
discretion, that such revisions materially alter the plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision, the commissioner need not seek the input described in
paragraph (a) of this subdivision or provide notice pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this subdivision if, in the discretion of the
commissioner, expedited development and implementation of a medicaid
savings allocation plan is necessary due to a public health emergen-
cy.
For purposes of this section, a public health emergency is defined as:
(i) a disaster, natural or otherwise, that significantly increases
the immediate need for health care personnel in an area of the
state; (ii) an event or condition that creates a widespread risk of
exposure to a serious communicable disease, or the potential for
such widespread risk of exposure; or (iii) any other event or condi-
tion determined by the commissioner to constitute an imminent threat
to public health.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to prevent all or part of
such medicaid savings allocation plan from taking effect retroac-
tively to the extent permitted by the federal centers for medicare
and medicaid services.
In accordance with the medicaid savings allocation plan, the commis-
sioner of the department of health shall reduce department of health

state funds medicaid spending by the amount of the projected over-
spending through, actions including, but not limited to modifying or
suspending reimbursement methods, including but not limited to all
fees, premium levels and rates of payment, notwithstanding any
provision of law that sets a specific amount or methodology for any
such payments or rates of payment; modifying medicaid program bene-
fits; seeking all necessary federal approvals, including, but not
limited to waivers, waiver amendments; and suspending time frames
for notice, approval or certification of rate requirements, notwith-
standing any provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary,
including but not limited to sections 2807 and 3614 of the public
health law, section 18 of chapter 2 of the laws of 1988, and 18
NYCRR 505.14(h).
The department of health shall prepare a monthly report that sets
forth: (a) known and projected department of health medicaid expend-
itures as described in subdivision (1) of this section, and factors
that could result in medicaid disbursements for the relevant state
fiscal year to exceed the projected department of health state funds
disbursements in the enacted budget financial plan pursuant to
subdivision 3 of section 23 of the state finance law, including
spending increases or decreases due to: enrollment fluctuations,
rate changes, utilization changes, MRT investments, and shift of
beneficiaries to managed care; and variations in offline medicaid
payments; and (b) the actions taken to implement any medicaid
savings allocation plan implemented pursuant to subdivision (4) of
this section, including information concerning the impact of such
actions on each category of service and each geographic region of
the state. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the chairs
of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees and
shall be posted on the department of health's website in a timely
manner.
For the purpose of making payments to providers of medical care pursu-
ant to section 367-b of the social services law, and for payment of
state aid to municipalities and the federal government where payment
systems through fiscal intermediaries are not operational, to reim-
burse the provision of care to patients eligible for medical assist-
ance.
