Extends the coverage period for medical assistance to a period of one year beginning on the last day of pregnancy.

2021-S1411 - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S1411

SPONSOR: RIVERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to extending the
Medicaid coverage period for pregnancy

 
PURPOSE:

To extend Medicaid coverage for certain pregnant women who access cover-
age at higher income levels from the current 60 day period after a preg-
nancy to a year, if federal financial participation is provided, to help
reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Sections 1 and 2 of the bill amends several parts of sections 366-1(d)
and 366-4(b) of the social services law to extend the period during
which Medicaid recipients eligible during pregnancy, continue to be
eligible at the same income levels for up to a year, instead of the

current 60 days if there is federal financial participation.

Section 3 of the bill provides an effective date and directs the commis-
sioner of health to immediately take all steps necessary and use best
efforts to secure federal financial participation.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Pregnant women are eligible for Medicaid at higher income levels, and
continue that coverage for 60 days after their pregnancy ends.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York State has high maternal mortality and morbidity rates with
clear racial disparities. In 2016, the state ranked 30th for maternal
mortality and black women are three times more likely to die from mater-
nal mortality than white women. Recognizing the importance of providing
women health care coverage following a birth, the federal government
provides Medicaid cost sharing and requires states to provide sixty days
of coverage following a birth. However, health care professionals agree
that sixty days of health care following a birth is woefully inadequate
and best practices to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity is a year
of coverage following a birth. This is sometimes referred to as the
"fourth trimester". In addition to the importance of monitoring a new
mother's physical well being, mental health services for maternal
depression and continued substance use disorder treatment services are
crucial.

Following this advice, bipartisan legislation in Congress, the Helping
Medicaid Offer Maternity Services Act of 2019, would offer states incen-
tives to make the change to one year. Several states also have proposals
to extend coverage for twelve months postpartum for women at higher
income levels for all or some of their health care needs.

Given New York's high maternal mortality and morbidity and racial
disparities, the state should work to extend coverage for a full year to
those women who would otherwise be ineligible for ongoing Medicaid.
Recognizing the current budget difficulties, this legislation directs
the Commissioner of Health to immediately seek federal financial partic-
ipation to provide the full year of coverage to those new mothers who
currently lose coverage after 60 days. This legislation will save lives
and allow children to grow up with their mothers.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2019-2020: S7147A/A9156 Gottfried

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined, however it is dependent upon receiving federal finan-
cial participation so that will limit the state costs.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately

BILL NUMBER: S1411B

SPONSOR: RIVERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to extending the
Medicaid coverage period for pregnancy

 
PURPOSE:

To extend Medicaid coverage for certain pregnant women who access cover-
age at higher income levels from the current 60 day period after a preg-
nancy to a year, if federal financial participation is provided, to help
reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Sections 1 and 2 amends section 366 (1)(d)(3) of the social services law
to extend the period during which Medicaid recipients eligible during
pregnancy continue to be eligible at the same income levels from the
current 60 days to a full year.

Section 3 of the bill provides for the effective date and directs the
commissioner of health to immediately take all steps necessary and use
best efforts to implement this act 180 days after it shall became law,
and take steps as necessary to secure federal financial participation.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York State has high maternal mortality and morbidity rates with
clear racial disparities. In 2016 the state ranked 30th for maternal
mortality and black women are three times more likely to die from mater-
nal mortality than white women. Recognizing the importance of providing
women health care coverage following a birth, the federal government
provides Medicaid cost sharing and requires states to provide 60 days of
coverage following a birth. However, health care professionals agree
that sixty days of health care following a birth is woefully inadequate
and best practices to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity is a year
of coverage following a birth. This is sometimes referred to as the
"fourth trimester". In addition to the importance of monitoring a new
mother's physical wellbeing, mental health services for maternal
depression and continue substance use disorder treatment services are
crucial.

Following this advice, bipartisan legislation in Congress, the Helping
Medicaid Offer Maternity Services Act of 2019, would offer states incen-
tives to make the change to one year. Several states also have proposals
to extend coverage for twelve months postpartum for women at higher
income levels for all or some of their health care needs.

Given New York's high maternal mortality and morbidity and racial
disparities, the state should work to extend coverage for a full year to
those women who would otherwise be ineligible for ongoing Medicaid.
Recognizing the current budget difficulties, this legislation directs
the Commissioner of Health to immediately seek federal financial partic-
ipation to provide the full year of coverage to those new mothers who
currently lose coverage after 60 days. This legislation will save lives
and allow children to grow up with their mothers.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2019-2020: S7147A/A9156 Gottfried

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined, however it is dependent upon receiving federal finan-
cial participation so that will limit the state costs.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
becomes a law. Effectively immediately, the commissioner of health shall
make regulations and take all actions reasonably necessary to implement
this act on that date, including taking all steps necessary and using
best efforts to secure federal financial participation for eligible
beneficiaries under title XIX of the social security act, for the
purposes of this act, including the prompt submission of appropriate
amendments to the title XIX state plan.
