S 9875 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes individuals receiving hospice services to enroll in managed long term care plans

This bill allows people who are currently receiving hospice care to enroll in managed long-term care plans without losing their existing benefits. It ensures that individuals can choose hospice services under Medicare or Medicaid while remaining in a managed long-term care program, rather than being forced to leave that program. To support this change, the bill requires state agencies to create rules for better communication and shared care planning between hospice providers and long-term care administrators. Additionally, these programs must exchange necessary information to ensure that patients receive continuous care without unnecessary delays or disruptions.
