Establishes when services for traumatic brain injuries granted pursuant to a waiver shall begin

This bill sets a specific start date for services related to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) under certain federal waivers. It requires that services for TBI waiver recipients cannot be provided through managed care programs until January 1, 2027. The law directly affects medical assistance recipients in New York who qualify for TBI services under federal waiver programs. This provision modifies existing social services law to establish a clear timeline for service implementation, ensuring these services are not delivered via managed care before the specified date.
