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. This article posts most alerts since November 2010. They are organized in 3 general categories:
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.

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. 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.

This change does not include the Immediate Needs process at this time.

However, copies of the OHIP-0112 and DOH-5130 would need to be sent with the older application. Reminder that as of March 1, 2022, the DOH-5178A will be the only Supplement A accepted with the DOH-4220 application. 2022-02-04 Changes to the LDSS-3183 Provider or MLTC Plan and Recipient Letter – A Medicaid Recipient who submits medical bills from a Provider to meet the spenddown will receive an OHIP-3183 “Provider/Recipient Letter” indicating which medical expenses are the responsibility of the Recipient (and which the Provider should not bill to Medicaid). When the Recipient is enrolled with a Managed Long Term Care Plan (MLTC), the Recipient and the MLTC will receive an OHIP-0128 “MLTC/Recipient Letter” indicating the amount that the Recipient owes to the MLTC (after deducting the medical expenses/bills from the spenddown). These forms replace the LDSS-3183 form. 20212021-12-28 Usage of DOH 5178A Medicaid Application Supplement and DOH 4495A – The subject of this Medicaid alert was included (albeit buried) in an earlier alert, 2020-12-22 Asset Verification System Expanded to all DAB/SSI Related Submissions New Medicaid Applications in NYC must be accompanied by DOH 5178A Supplement A form, even if the applicant is attesting the amount of their resources.

If consumers cannot make a surplus payment or their income have gone down, they should have their case re-budgeted.

However, there were many Medicaid consumers with MAGI-like budgeting who were found eligible before January 1st, 2014. Their cases have remained with HRA until they could be transitioned.

NYS has resumed the transition and approx. 158,600 individuals transitioned between April 2021 through July 2021.

Replaces the LDSS-1151 form with the DOH-5139 form which can be downloaded here.
