HRA Medicaid Alerts are periodic announcements of policy, staff and office changes published by the HRA Medicaid Progarm (formerly called the "Medical Insurance and Community Services Administration (MICSA)". The Medicaid Program   is the part of New York City’s Human Resource Administration (HRA) that administers Medicaid and the Medicare Savings Programs.   The Home Care Services Program (HCSP) in HRA administers Medicaid for people enrolled in MLTC plans or who receive personal care or CDPAP services from HRA.     

 When policy changes occur within MICSA’s programs considered important enough to be of concern to Home Care Providers, Home Health agencies, hospitals, and other community based organizations, MICSA sends out an announcement of the changes  known as a Medicaid Alert.  These announcements are sent out to community based organizations periodically throughout the year. 
Medicaid Alerts may be useful by advocates in verifying policy changes to frontline Medicaid workers.    We have compiled ones that are pertinent as of November 2010.   They are organized in 3 general categories:  
  • Medicaid Eligibility & Procedures - include applications, renewals, verification of citizenship/immigration status, etc.
  • Medicaid Home Care
  • Medicaid/CASA Office Relocations & Staff
Within each category, they are listed chronologically with a KEY TOPIC for ease in finding pertinent directives.
Please email us to provide any other HRA Medicaid directives that might be helpful to others.

2024-01-23 Submission of the DOH-4220 Application's Appropriate Pages

There are different version of the statewide DOH-4220 Medicaid Application form, which applicants use to apply for non-MAGI Medicaid. The Medical Assistance Program (MAP) accepts the DOH-4220 form versions dated: 1/23, 8/21, and 3/15. However, if an applicant is using one of the two older version of the DOH-4220 form (dated 8/21 or 3/15), the applicant must also submit the OHIP-0112 and DOH-5130. Meanwhile, it is important that Medicaid providers use only one version of the form per applicant; it is not permitted for providers to submit an application for an applicant that contains pages from different version of the DOH-4220.

  • Consumers with unresolved immigration or citizenship will be expected to document at their renewal.
  • Disenrollment from Mainstream Managed Care will resume for clients in receipt of Medicare.
  • Health Insurance Premium Payments (HIPP) and Medicare Insurance Premium Payment (MIPP) program payments will be updated should past payments need any adjustments. Overpayments made during the Public Health Emergency will not be recovered.
  • MBI-WPD individuals must submit proof of work but may attest to the amount of their income and resources at renewal.
  • Current Medicaid consumers who do not contact HRA for a recalculation of their income in response to the December 2022 one-time letter, will have their eligibility redetermined at the next consumer contact or at renewal, whichever comes first.
  • For Spenddown cases, districts will not seek retroactive recoupment of pay-in payments.
  • After 6/30/23, applicants and recipients for nursing home care is no longer permitted to self-attest to income, resources, and asset transfers during the look-back period.
  • Effective 7/1/23, consumers can no longer submit an attestation of filings or of intent to file a petition for guardianship.

2023-05-31  NY Independent Assessor & Changes to Personal Care (PCS) Assessment Process

Explains what consumers seeking Medicaid CDPAP or personal care (PCS) should do in 2 situations: (1) Those who contacted NYIA directly, rather than applying for Immediate Need services and who are not in a Mainstream Medicaid managed care plan (known as "Fee for service (FFS) consumers") - If the NYIA notice says they are not eligible to enroll in MLTC and refers them to the LDSS - they should fax a copy of their NYIA decision notice to the CASA Central Intake unit (718) 636-7784. Case will be assigned to a CASA to use the notice to retrieve the NYIA assessments and then proceed to assess whether eligible for PCS or CDPAP. But.. if they are a dual eligible and not in a hospice program, or in OPWDD, TBI or NHTD waiver - they are probably only eligible for 8 hours/WEEK of Housekeeping services from CASA. 

(2) If you applied to HRA for Immediate Need services - PCS or CDPAP via eFax (917) 639-0665 - you should not have to contact the HRA Home Care Services Program/CASA after the NYIA assessments -- because NYIA should notify CASA of the outcome of the assessments directly and they should contact you about next steps to decide if you are eligible for services and if so - what is your plan of care.

2023-04-07 ACCESS HRA Client Portal Enhancements – As of 4/4/23, Medicaid-only consumers will be able to submit their Medicaid renewal online using ACCESS HRA as an alternative to returning the paper forms. Medicaid-only cases with authorization ending 6/30/23 or later, can alternatively submit their renewal on ACCESS HRA. (Read more about Medicaid Renewals here.)

  • Consumers that are Disabled Aged and Blind (DAB) or non-MAGI, including those in the Medicaid Excess Income or Surplus program and those that receive homecare services through a Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plan) can now use ACCESS HRA to submit their renewal by logging in or creating an account at www.nyc.gov/accesshra.
  • All active Medicaid-only cases with authorization end dates 3/31/20 through 5/31/23, will continue to be systemically extended for 12 months and individuals will not be required to renew their Medicaid eligibility during the emergency period.
  • Consumers can view their Medicaid case information including: Recert Due Date (currently named Eligibility End Date), Surplus coverage status and Surplus amount.  The “Make a Payment” button in the right navigation links to CityPay portal which allows Surplus clients to pay their Surplus.  However, consumers that have never submitted a payment through the Division of Accounts Receivable & Billing (DARB), must contact DARB to be registered prior to submitting an online payment at 718-557-1399.

2023-03-31 Transition of the Pharmacy benefit from Managed Care to NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program

  • As of 4/1/23, individuals in Mainstream Managed Care (MMC), Health and Recovery (HARP), and HIV Special Needs (SNP) plans will get their Pharmacy Benefits through the New York Medicaid Pharmacy Program (NYRx; formerly Medicaid Fee-For Service Pharmacy Program) and will receive notification of the change by mail. This does not apply to members enrolled in Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC), the Essential Plan, and Child Health Plus (CHP).
  • Nearly all drugs currently covered by MMC plans will continue to be covered by NYRx. However, some drugs under Medicaid fee for services may require NYS prior authorization. Drug co-payments will not change.
  • Consumers must present their Medicaid Common Benefit Identification Card (CBIC), which has their client identification number (CIN) and not their the MMC card or plan card.
  • Members who are in the Restricted Recipient Program (RRP) prior to 4/1/23 will remain restricted for other services when the prescription drug benefit transitions to NYRx.
