NYC DOHMH has commenced its 2023-2024 Jurisdictional Risk Assessment, an assessment conducted every five years that aims to gather information about public health threats, analyze them, and identify the most important threats based on how likely they are to exceed existing City emergency response capabilities. All NYC members, regardless of service line, are urged to complete the JRA Round 1 Preparedness Capabilities Survey, which will evaluate NYC’s preparedness level as outlined by the CDC’s 15 Public Health Emergency Preparedness Capabilities.

Nursing homes, ALPs and ADHC Programs should see a 6.5 percent increase to Medicaid rates retroactive to April 1, 2023.

Nursing home rate sheets and ALP rate increase information is available; ADHC rate sheets are pending.

Department is seeking input on the guidance and current practices in the field.
