Important Updates on QI/VAPP Application Process

LeadingAge NY has been working with other associations on clarifying many of the outstanding questions surrounding the application for, and utilization of, the Quality Incentive/Vital Access Provider Pool (QI/VAPP) funding.  In response to our efforts, the State Department of Health (DOH) has issued a July 18 question and answer document. Also DOH has just posted an additional FAQ available by clicking here. We continue to work on clarifying any remaining issues. We recommend that members carefully review all the Q&A reference materials and let us know of any further questions or concerns. We are in the process of analyzing this additional reference material.

We will immediately advise members regarding any new developments. Please be advised that along with the additional FAQs, DOH has just posted an additional deadline extension to Sept. 2, 2014. This is a further extension from the previous deadline extension of Aug. 15, 2014. Applications must be submitted via email to HCWorkerParity@health.state.ny.us by 3:00 pm on September 2, 2014.
