ALP Minimum Wage Reconciliation DAL to Be Out Soon

LeadingAge NY has learned that the Department of Health (DOH) intends to issue a Dear Administrator Letter (DAL) shortly regarding minimum wage rate reconciliation for Assisted Living Programs (ALPs). The Department is reconciling ALP minimum wage Medicaid rate add-ons that were based on estimates to reflect actual, provider-specific minimum wage costs for 2017 through 2019.  The payment adjustments are expected to be included in Medicaid checks released on March 31. More details should be available soon.
