SUMMARY:New Restrictions on Providing Federal Public Benefits to Noncitizens: Immediate Impacts for Behavioral Health Providers
DESCRIPTION:New Restrictions on Providing Federal Public Benefits to Noncitizens: Immediate Impacts for Behavioral Health Providers \nAugust 20 at 3 p.m. ET\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn July\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a notice reinterpreting “Federal public benefit” and including many behavioral health programs as meeting the new\, broader definition. \nPrograms funded under Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics\, Community Mental Health Services Block Grants\, and Substance Use Prevention\, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grants\, including certain programs administered by SAMHSA\, are now subject to the reinterpretation. \n\nWhat does this change mean for your organization?\nWhat is the nonprofit exemption?\nWho can receive services?\nWhat other programs do you operate that now fall under the revised definition?\nWhat do you need to do differently now and in the future?\nHas anything changed since the notice was issued?\n\nJoin Feldesman attorneys\, including an immigration attorney\, next Wednesday\, August 20 at 3 p.m. ET\, for an industry update webinar to explain the change\, review developments and answer your questions.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:OASAS Webinar re: PAS47M Form
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this month\, OASAS announced upcoming changes to the OASAS Client Data System (CDS)\, allowing programs to submit updates on the use of Medication for Addition Treatment (MAT) in a more timely and efficient way. This reporting requirement applies to Outpatient\, Opioid Treatment\, and Residential services programs\, and is available for use as of October 1\, 2025\, as previously announced. \nAlthough OASAS encourages providers to begin reporting MAT changes to the CDS as close as possible to October 1\, programs will be given a pause of enforcement activities until January 1\, 2026\, in order to allow additional time to implement changes to their systems. \nOn September 30th\, OASAS will host a webinar/ training on this new form. To register for the training go to: https://meetny-gov.webex.com/weblink/register/rcc568cb9a1f82eb318a97a1aad67a44e. The MAT Update PAS47M form and instructions are available on the OASAS Applications home tab under Forms and Instructions. On the User Guides tab\, we have also placed the guide for Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) Update. \nThe information collected on the MAT Update Form (PAS-47M) is vital to ensuring equitable access to medication for Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) across the OASAS continuum of care. Additionally\, for programs providing methadone\, maintaining accurate medication records is critical for federal compliance.

SUMMARY:OASAS Treatment Program Reporting and Data Analysis Report (RADAR) Webinar
DESCRIPTION:OASAS is excited to announce the rollout of the Treatment Program Reporting and Data Analysis Report (RADAR).  Developed based on provider feedback\, this new resource is intended to allow programs to see summaries of the data they report to the OASAS Client Data System (CDS) and compare themselves to averages for similar programs. \nThe RADAR displays descriptive statistics across five categories: \n\nDemographic Characteristics\n\n\nServices Profile\n\n\nMedication for Addiction Treatment\n\n\nDischarges and Referrals\n\n\nSubmission of Program Information\n\nThe Treatment RADAR does not contain performance targets.  Treatment programs will receive an email from their OASAS Program Manager with their RADAR document and other pertinent information beginning in the middle of October. \nAn informational webinar about the RADAR is scheduled for October 7 at 2:00pm.  Registration is available at: https://meetny-gov.webex.com/weblink/register/r5f3bb2bf2f7e92f10221dad9bd693bd6.   The webinar will be recorded for those unable to attend live.

SUMMARY:Cannabis and Health: What the Science Tells Us
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Friday\, November 14\, at 1:00 PM ET for an informative webinar on what science says about cannabis use and our health. \nThere have been national policy changes related to the use of cannabis for medical purposes\, yet there are many questions from the public and healthcare providers about medical use. The FDA has approved specific cannabis-derived and cannabis-related therapeutics for treating certain medical conditions\, but it has not approved cannabis itself for treating any health conditions. \nThis webinar will examine the scientific evidence on cannabis and health\, while separating evidence-based facts from common myths. Speakers will provide an overview of what is known about cannabis’ medical applications\, limitations in the research\, and its public health implications. Presenters will also address common myths\, highlight what science has yet to establish\, and provide resources for those seeking reliable information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Commissioner Sullivan Discusses FY 2027 State Budget
DESCRIPTION:Please join Office of Mental Health Commissioner Dr. Ann Sullivan at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday\, Feb. 19\, as she discusses the FY 2027 Executive Budget. This hour-long virtual presentation will detail key points of this spending plan and provide an overview of the investments in the state’s mental health system. \nThe Governor’s FY27 Executive Budget invests in what New Yorkers need while also insulating the state from the fiscal uncertainty coming from the federal government.  This $260 billion spending plan remains committed to economic growth\, while also funding the social safety net and other spending without increasing taxes\, continuing the momentum New York state has experienced and guarding against potential volatility. \nThe Executive Budget also adds funding to continue the critical work to strengthen the continuum of mental health care throughout the state. These investments include expanding teen Mental Health First Aid training for all 10th graders\, adding additional Youth Safe Spaces\, increasing rates at OMH residential programs\, and securing higher wages for mental health workers\, among other initiatives. \nIn addition to discussing the Executive Budget\, Dr. Sullivan will also outline some of the important initiatives already underway at OMH and how these programs are improving access to mental health care for all New Yorkers. \nPlease use this link to join at the time of the presentation. No advanced registration is required.
