DOH Submits CHHA State Plan Amendment
The Department of Health (DOH) has posted a State Plan Amendment (SPA) that would increase Medicaid fee-for-service/episodic rates to Certified Home Health Agencies (CHHAs) to cover the additional costs to providers as a result of the Dec. 31, 2016 minimum wage increase.
This was covered in the SFY 2016-17 budget and was posted in the Oct. 19th New York State Register.
