More Counties to Implement UAS-NY Beginning July 1, 2013
DOH has announced the roll-out of 15 counties for July 1, 2013 transition to UAS-NY. These counties are as follows:
Albany, Clinton, Columbia, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton, Montgomery, Otsego, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie and Washington.
All organizations that manage, conduct assessments or provide services for any of the following programs will be required to use the UAS-NY.
- Adult Day Health Care
- Assisted Living Program
- Care at Home I/II Waiver
- Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program
- Long Term Home Health Care Program
- Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver
- Personal Care Services Program
- Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver
Once the transition activities are completed, organizations in these counties will use the UAS-NY to conduct assessments for these programs. Organizations in these counties will achieve full implementation of the UAS-NY no later than Dec. 1, 2013. Organizations that are responsible for the client assessment must ensure that any contractors are identified and notified of this change.
The UAS-NY project team will conduct an overview of the UAS-NY, the transition activities and timeline for organizations in these counties on June 14, 2013. The one-hour webinar will begin at 1 p.m. All organizations in these counties are strongly encouraged to participate as important information about the transition activities will be presented.
