Assisted Living Program (ALP) Dear Administrator Letter

September 12, 2022

Dear Administrator:

This letter contains information for your Assisted Living Project (ALP) Medicaid reimbursement rates effective April 1, 2022. The State Fiscal Year 2022-23 Enacted Budget provided for a one (1) percent increase in provider reimbursement rates retroactive to April 1, 2022. This rate increase would normally be applied to the January 1, 2022 rates. However, because the January 1, 2022 rates are under development, the Department of Health is utilizing the latest available rates on eMedNY (January 1, 2021) to apply the one percent increase.

Once the January 1, 2022 rates are finalized, the Department will recalculate and reconcile the one percent initially calculated on the January 1, 2021 rates using the 2022 initial rates.

This document and ALP rates are posted at the following location under Current Rates - April 2022 ALPS 1% Enhancement.

If you have any questions regarding the April 1, 2022 rates, calculations, or other questions regarding ALP facilities, please send an email to ALP-Rates@health.ny.gov and Tim Fischer will assist you.

Sincerely,

Laura Rosenthal, Director
Bureau of Nursing Home and Long Term Care Rate Setting
Division of Finance and Rate Setting
