Eff. June 1, 2022, submissions to HRA to approve a Pooled Trust or MBI-WPD no longer need to include the disability forms (DOH-5141, DOH-5143, Authorization MAO-751e, AIDS report form MAP 252F. Instead, once the pooled trust is filed with HRA, HRA will route it to NYS DOH Disabilitiy Review Team, which will then request MAP 3177 Disability Determination Request from the consumer. Unclear if other documentation will be required but likely - stay tuned look for updates at http://www.wnylc.com/health/entry/44/ (This revises the Alert issued May 31, 2022

Beginning May 16, 2022, any adult 18 and older seeking fee for service (FFS) Personal Care Services (PCS) and/or Consumer Directed Personal Care Services (CDPAS) for the first time or seeking initial MLTC plan eligibility must be referred to the New York Independent Assessor (NYIA) for their Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Clinical Appointment (CA). This change does not include the Immediate Needs process at this time. NYIA will conduct independent assessments, provide independent practitioner orders, and perform independent reviews of high needs cases for PCS and CDPAS. The NYIA will also take over the work currently done by the Conflict Free Evaluation and Enrollment Center (CFEEC) to assess individuals for MLTC plan eligibility.

When the Recipient is enrolled with a Managed Long Term Care Plan (MLTC), the Recipient and the MLTC will receive an OHIP-0128 “MLTC/Recipient Letter” indicating the amount that the Recipient owes to the MLTC (after deducting the medical expenses/bills from the spenddown).
