| Solicitation Profile |
The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waivers are distinct Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) 1915c programs approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which share a similar philosophy, participant eligibility standards, provider requirements, range of community based services, contractor roles and responsibilities, and the need to meet federal requirements for aggregate budgeting cost neutrality. Online information regarding the NYS Department of Health (NYSDOH) community based health care services, including waiver programs, is available on the NYSDOH website at: http://www.health.ny.gov/facilities/long_term_care.
The NYSDOH operates several HCBS Medicaid (MA) 1915c waiver programs. The NHTD and the TBI 1915c waivers provide a community-based alternative for eligible adults who require an institutional level of care but have chosen to receive care in their homes. The two waivers enroll individuals eighteen years of age or older, who, considered as an aggregate group, can be served appropriately and at less cost than institutional care in a community setting.
The NHTD and TBI waiver programs are designed and implemented to reduce the incidence of unnecessary institutionalization through:
Transition: Assisting eligible individuals currently living in nursing homes to move to appropriate community-based settings.
Diversion: Preventing in-state and out-of-state facility placements through development of community based services and supports for waiver eligible individuals.
As a result of this RFA, approximately $9.073 million will be available per year for the local administration of the NHTD and the TBI services. The funding will be approximately $4.24 million for NHTD services per year and $4.83 million for TBI services per year. The resulting contract(s) will be awarded for a five-year period. expected to begin May 1, 2019, ending April 30, 2024 dependent upon continued funding availability and satisfactory contractor performance. The total funds expected to be made available over the entire 60 month period is approximately $45.365 million.
