Users of the HCRA designated providers list should note that one provider included on the comprehensive clinics portion of the list, Wartburg D&TC, was added to the list in error. This facility, which opened on December 16, 1997, was never designated by the Health Department as a comprehensive clinic. Also, two other providers included on the comprehensive clinics portion of the list, Baker Victory Healthcare Center and Hudson Valley Health Specialties, have had their classifications as comprehensive clinics voided by the Department retroactive to their dates of inception. Therefore, patient services payments made to, or patient services revenue received by, these three providers for services rendered, are not subject to, nor should they have been subjected to, assessment of the HCRA surcharge.
