Relates to coverage for services provided by school-based health centers for medical assistance recipients

This bill (A 9577) amends New York's social services law to prevent medical assistance recipients from receiving school-based health center services through managed care programs. It specifically prohibits managed care organizations from covering these services until at least April 1, 2026. The change directly affects medical assistance recipients who access health services at school-based centers, ensuring such care isn't routed through managed care systems. The provision takes effect immediately for the bill itself, but the coverage restriction applies starting April 1, 2026.
