Thanks to those who attended our call this morning. It was so good to see you!
Linked below, please find the document I screen shared with everyone on the call. In addition, please find other materials related to the 23-24 Budget and Legislative Session that we have shared in the recent past.
FY24 3-Way Medicaid Scorecard 4.28
2023 HMH End of Session Update- CCBH 6-21-23
For those looking for the information we have shared before regarding the MCO recoupment the NYS Council compelled the state to implement that resulted in ‘reinvestment’ for OMH and OASAS, here’s a reminder as to how the money is being used by OASAS for 22-23 budget year. Note: (There is additional funds for 23-24 in the new state budget that just passed)
OASAS will use the 2022-2023 MCO recoupment dollars as follows. These changes are pending final approvals:
– 5% trend on every Medicaid-able OASAS service except hospital inpatient (eff. Jan 1)
– off-site rate code enhancement for freestanding Outpatient and OTPs (eff. Jan 1)
– Peer service weight increases (eff. Jan 1)
– Addiction Specific E&M APG weight increases (eff. Jan 1)
– Part 820 Residential Rate Increases (eff. March 1) (see below for breakdown)
OASAS 820
Rehab Level= 4.5% increase
Stabilization Level= 15% across the state plus 5.6% more for downstate programs.
