DAL-CHHA Medicaid Reimbursement Rates

  • Letter is also available in Portable Document Format

September 15, 2022

Dear Administrator:

This letter is in regard to your Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) Pediatric Medicaid reimbursement rates effective April 1, 2022. The State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2022-23 Enacted Budget provided for a 1 percent increase in provider reimbursement rates retroactive to April 1, 2022. This rate increase would normally be applied to the January 1, 2022 rates. However, because the January 1, 2022 rates are under development, the Department of Health is utilizing the latest available rates on eMedNY (January 1, 2021 for CHHA Pediatric).

Once the January 1, 2022 rates are finalized, the Department will recalculate and reconcile the 1 percent initially calculated on the January 1, 2021 CHHA rates and apply it to the 2022 rates.

The provider-specific rates have been posted for your information at: Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) Pediatric Rates (ny.gov).

The payment for the April 1, 2022 rates to effectuate the interim 1 percent increase will be made in Cycle 2353 with a check release date of October 12, 2022.

If you have any questions regarding the above information, please send an email to CHHA-Rates@health.ny.gov and the Department will respond to your inquiries.

Sincerely,

Laura Rosenthal
