Good morning,

Several months ago the NYS Council connected with our OASAS colleagues with a billing question about OTP services that are provided to patients/residents in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Long Term Care Facilities.  OASAS has updated its APG guidance document to directly address our question (on page 28 – Section 5 at the link embedded in the note below) to the care recipient’s advantage (as it relates to access to care) and the provider in certain situations.   Take a look at page 28 when you can and let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks.

Hello Laurie,

This is to inform you that we have updated the OASAS APG guidance document (https://oasas.ny.gov/apg-manual) which includes language regarding OTP services delivered to Patients/residents in SNF and LTCF.

Please see Section five (page 28) for the linked APG document.

Thank you
