Final 2014 Personal Care Rates

The Dear Administrator Letter (DAL) that was posted to the HCS reflects the final Personal Care and/or Consumer Directed program reimbursement rates for the period of January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014.

A brief summary:

• Trend Factor: 0 percent trend factor in accordance with past NYS budgets;
• Non-NYC Worker Recruitment and Retention: 6.08 percent adjustment will be included in the 2014 rates for non-NYC personal care service providers who submitted their signed attestation for using funds for the purpose of improving Recruitment and Retention (R&R) of non-supervisory personal care services workers or any worker with direct patient care responsibility.
• Appeals: An appeal by a provider whose rates have changed must be filled within 30 days of the receipt of the DAL.

As usual, any questions about the calculations of the 2014 Medicaid rates should be directed to Tim Casey at (518) 473-4421.
