ASSEMBLY, No. 3110

with Assembly Floor Amendments

(Proposed by Senator CODEY)

ADOPTED: JUNE 29, 2022

      These Senate amendments remove a provision of the bill that required the Medicaid reimbursement rate for Structured Day Program Services provided to a Medicaid beneficiary eligible for brain injury services be equal to the reimbursement rate for Day Habilitation Services – Tier D, as provided by the Division of Developmental Disabilities.

      The Senate amendments adjust the Division of Developmental Disability Individual Supports Services tiers used to establish the minimum Medicaid reimbursement rates for Community Residential Services provided to a Medicaid beneficiary eligible for brain injury services.  In effect, these amendments establish lower minimum reimbursement rates for brain injury services than those established in the bill as introduced.

      The Senate amendments revise the effective date to occur 30 days after the date of enactment, rather than on July 1 next following the date of enactment.
