DOH Updates 2024 ALP Rates
(Jan. 28, 2025) The Department of Health (DOH) has posted updated Assisted Living Program (ALP) rates to reflect 2024 minimum wage adjustments based on survey data that providers submitted to the Department. The adjustments, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2024, will be paid in Medicaid payment cycle 2476, scheduled for release on Feb. 19th. Please note that the update only impacts the rates for those providers who reported paying wages in 2023 that were below the 2024 minimum of $16.00 in NYC and Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties and $15.00 in the rest of the state. The minimum wage add-on components are exclusive of the home care aide minimum wage increases. The associated Dear Administrator Letter (DAL) is available here, and the provider-specific rate schedule indicating the 2024 increase, if any, is available here. DOH is accepting questions at ALP-Rates@health.ny.gov.
