Section 26 of part H of chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, amending the public health law and other laws, relating to targeted Medicaid reimbursement rate reductions, is amended to read as follows: § 26. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and subject to the availability of federal financial participation, for periods on and after April 1, 2011, clinics certified pursuant to [articles 16,] ARTICLE 31 or 32 of the mental hygiene law shall be subject to targeted Medicaid reimbursement rate reductions in accordance with the provisions of this section. Such reductions shall be based on utilization thresh- olds which may be established either as provider-specific or patient- specific thresholds. Provider-specific thresholds shall be based on average patient utilization for a given provider in comparison to a peer based standard to be determined for each service. The commissioners of the office of mental health[, the office for persons with developmental disabilities,] and the office of alcoholism and substance abuse services, in consultation with the commissioner of health, are author- ized to waive utilization thresholds for patients of clinics certified pursuant to article [16,] 31[,] or 32 of the mental hygiene law who are enrolled in specific treatment programs or otherwise meet criteria as may be specified by such commissioners. When applying a provider-spe- cific threshold, rates will be reduced on a prospective basis based on the amount any provider is over the determined threshold level. Patient-specific thresholds will be based on annual thresholds deter- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
