Dear Mr. Helgerson:
This letter is to inform you that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is granting a temporary extension of New York´s Partnership Plan section 1115 demonstration (Project No. 11-W- 00114/2). The temporary extension is effective through September 15, 2016. The extension period will give CMS and New York the opportunity to have more detailed discussions of the issues involved in the longer extension of the demonstration.
The demonstration will continue to operate under all other current Special Terms and Conditions (STCs) and waiver and expenditure authorities. The per-member-per month (PMPM) costs approved for the last demonstration year will be used to determine budget neutrality through this temporary extension period.
Your project officer, Deborah Steinbach, will contact you to facilitate these discussions. Ms. Steinbach can be reached by phone at (410) 786-7404, or by e-mail at Deborah.Steinbach@cms.hhs.gov, should you need to contact her. We look forward to continuing to work with you and your staff on your 1115 demonstration extension.
Sincerely,
Eliot Fishman
Director
