ALBANY, N.Y. – AAHomecare is calling on providers in New York to help build support for two new bills in the state legislature that would require Medicaid managed care organizations to reimburse for DME and complex rehab at no less than 100% of the published Medicaid fee schedule for the same services and supplies. A.5368 was introduced in the State Assembly on Feb. 16 and S.5118 was introduced in the State Senate on Feb. 24. “This legislation is critically needed to ensure that New York Medicaid beneficiaries who rely on home medical equipment will maintain strong access to quality products and related services,” the association stated in a bulletin. Providers can message their representatives through AAHomecare’s Action Center. The Northeast Medical Equipment Providers Association has also created a one-pager on the need for rate stability.
