Medicaid Transportation in New York

Book Description
Ensuring that Medicaid beneficiaries have appropriate access to care--in terms of both the availability of providers of health care services as well as transportation to those providers--is an integral aspect of Medicaid programs. Across the country, however, states have struggled to provide safe, reliable, and cost-efficient non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to their Medicaid beneficiaries. New York State is currently interested in identifying opportunities to update its NEMT program. While New York may draw upon the numerous program models implemented in other states, New York State's varying geography, rural-urban mix, and provider landscape-- coupled with the sheer scale of New York State's program, which cost over $370 million for fee-for-service (FFS) NEMT services alone in 2009--present unparalleled challenges to developing and implementing revisions to New York State's NEMT program. Further, as New York State has for many years delegated authority to local jurisdictions to manage many aspects of the program, the current NEMT structure provides an unlevel foundation upon which to implement revised administrative processes and provider reimbursement rates. New York State currently faces unprecedented fiscal difficulties. With the potential that revisions to the State's NEMT model will likely reduce expenditures, the State's fiscal situation presents an opportunity to hasten legislative, regulatory, and policy decisions to encourage swift development and implementation of revised NEMT models. In addition to reducing expenditures, revisions to NEMT also present opportunities to improve beneficiary access, strengthen provider oversight, and increase overall program satisfaction. With the increasing importance of delivering cost-efficient and effective NEMT services, the United Hospital Fund engaged The Lewin Group to assess NEMT options in New York State to assist the State as it considers how to modify its current program.

Book Description
The balance between state and federal health care financing for low-income people has been a matter of considerable debate for the last 40 years. Some argue for a greater federal role, others for more devolution of responsibility to the states. Medicaid, the backbone of the system, has been plagued by an array of problems that have made it unpopular and difficult to use to extend health care coverage. In recent years, waivers have given the states the flexibility to change many features of their Medicaid programs; moreover, the states have considerable flexibility to in establishing State Children's Health Insurance Programs. This book examines the record on the changing health safety net. How well have states done in providing acute and long-term care services to low-income populations? How have they responded to financial incentives and federal regulatory requirements? How innovative have they been? Contributing authors include Donald J. Boyd, Randall R. Bovbjerg, Teresa A. Coughlin, Ian Hill, Michael Housman, Robert E. Hurley, Marilyn Moon, Mary Beth Pohl, Jane Tilly, and Stephen Zuckerman.
