NY S05748

Youth placed pursuant to specified provisions of the Family Court Act (subdivisions 2, 2-a, 3, or 4 of section 353.3 or section 353.5) are presumed eligible for medical assistance beginning on their release date from placement.

Presumptive eligibility continues until the earlier of either a formal Medicaid eligibility determination or 60 days from release, whichever occurs first.

Care, services, and supplies provided by eligible entities during the presumptive eligibility period are treated as medical assistance for payment and state reimbursement purposes.

The act takes effect 90 days after becoming law, with authority for implementing rules and regulations to be adopted immediately.
