UAS-NY Webinar on Rate Code Crosswalk for ALPs

DOH will begin a regional implementation of the Uniform Assessment System for New York (UAS-NY) in March 2013. The UAS-NY will replace the DSS-4449B and DSS-4449D assessment tools used for Assisted Living Program (ALP) recipients as well as the PRI tool used for determining programmatic eligibility and RUGS-II groups used for billing.  Programs will stop using the PRI tool for billing once they begin using the UAS-NY.

For more information about this change in billing, see the "Assisted Living Program (ALP): Rate Code Crosswalk" article in the February 2013 edition of the DOH Medicaid Update, which is available here. 

On Wednesday, March 6 at 11 a.m., DOH will conduct a one-hour webinar to provide additional information on the ALP Rate Code Crosswalk.  To register for this webinar, click here.  Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with details for logging on to the event.  Note that this program is for ALPs only, and does not relate to other adult care facility and assisted living providers.  If you have any questions concerning the webinar, please call DOH at 518-408-1021.
