The Jan. 9 Legislative Bulletin is now available online.

The new law relates to insurance and Medicaid payments for telehealth and telemedicine services.

Specifically, LeadingAge is asking Congress to:

• Avoid across-the-board Medicare cuts.
• Strengthen the low-income housing tax credit.
• Reauthorize the Older Americans Act.
• Fix the Medicare observation days problem repeal therapy caps.
• Preserve tax-exempt status for not-for-profit aging services providers

The law will allow individuals residing in the community to access services from their local CCRC. 

The LeadingAge NY Board of Directors approved the association's agenda, which outlines all services lines' key priorities for the upcoming year.

Join LeadingAge New York, the Adult Day Health Care Council and the Hospice & Palliative Care Association of New York State in Albany for a day of networking and legislative meetings.

An urgent request from LeadingAge National.
