DOH has convened the first meeting of the LTC Advisory Group, received stakeholder input at three public hearings around the state, and accepted written proposals for Medicaid savings and reform.

DOH announced a delay in the implementation of the MLTC nursing home benefit limit due to a systems issue. The transition of long-term nursing home residents from MLTC to FFS will not take place on March 1^st upstate, as previously planned. The expected duration of the delay and whether it will affect the NYC transition were not known at the time of the meeting. The meeting also included updates on quality measure reporting, provider network submissions, and Medicare-Medicaid managed care procedures.

Advisory provides update for health care facilities.
