Relates to rates of payment for adult day health care services

This bill updates how payment rates are calculated for adult day health care services provided by residential health care facilities in New York State. It establishes different payment formulas based on whether a program has historically maintained at least 90% occupancy and sets a new standard rate of 65% of the facility's inpatient rate effective April 1, 2026, with minimum floor amounts in certain counties. The legislation also removes transportation costs from the operating component of payment rates starting January 1, 2008, and requires facilities to submit individual budgets for each program they operate. These changes directly affect residential health care facilities that sponsor adult day health care programs and the state agencies responsible for administering payment rates.
