NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A9521
 
SPONSOR: Gottfried
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to adult care facilities   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to make changes to Chapter 646 of the Laws of 2019, to clarify that an individual's ability to select their health care provider for certain services in an adult care facility is not limited by their insurer's restrictions.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 would clarify that limitations by an insurer do not restrict an individual's ability to select their health care provider for services not covered by an admission agreement in an adult care facili- ty. Section 2 establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 646 of the Laws of 2019 enumerated certain rights of an individ- ual pertaining to medical care in an adult facility. One of those rights is an individual's ability to select their own health care provider for services not covered under an adult care facilities admission agreement. This bill would clarify this provision to clearly indicate that any restrictions that an individual's insurer may place on covered services or providers does not prevent the individual from obtaining those services from the health care provider of the individual's choosing.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Legislation.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2019, amending the social services law relating to adult care facilities, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S.874 and A.1084, takes effect.

    13  manner as a chapter of the laws of 2019 amending the social services law
