Starting in 2011 the NY EMA began planning for HIV-care service delivery changes as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and New York State Medicaid program expansion. To begin this process NYCDOHMH contracted with an experienced policy Medicaid consultant to conduct a thorough analysis of current and possible future Medicaid reimbursed services in currently funded NY EMA Ryan White Service Categories. Results from this report combined with ongoing grantee and Planning Council staff analysis of ACA and NYS Medicaid service expansion implementation, including Health Homes, were shared with the NY HIV Health and Human Services Planning Council to begin to inform 2013-2015 service planning and the determination to seek a waiver to the 75 percent Core medical services allocation as required by Ryan White legislation.
