BILL NUMBER:S5878 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to rebasing of the episodic reimbursement methodology for certified home health agencies PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To ensure that the state's planned rebasing of the episodic pricing system (EPS) does not result in reimbursement cuts for home health patient services that would exceed cut levels projected in the 2015-16 state fiscal plan. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one amends the public health law provisions for state rebasing of EPS to ensure that any aggregate cut in reimbursement for home health services for Medicaid patients that stem from rebasing does not exceed amounts projected in the 2015-16 state fiscal plan (or $30 million). Section 2 establishes an April 1, 2015 effective date for the bill, consistent with the state budget and the planned start date of the rebased EPS.
