The deadline is extended to Sun., March 8.

Nursing homes are reminded to compile and submit a list of appeals and litigation excluded from the Universal Settlement by Sun., March 1, 2015. 

To preserve rate appeals and litigation that are excluded from the Universal Settlement homes must submit an itemized list of their excluded matters to DOH through LeadingAge NY or another participating association.  This memo contains a listing of exclusions as well as the form on which exclusions should be reported. 

The State is proceeding with the Universal Settlement of Litigation and Appeals for nursing homes. Please watch your e-mail for guidance on submitting information on items excluded from the settlement.  

Several Medicaid rate adjustments, as well as 2014 final quality scores, coming soon. Release dates have not yet been established.

High percentage of current nursing home operators voted in favor of the settlement.

LeadingAge NY questions the readiness to move aggressively on VBP arrangements.

A brief white paper prepared by DOH on their proposal to identify nursing homes most suited for energy efficiency and emergency preparedness investment and facilitate public/private financing options to make such investments.
