Maddy summaryThis bill updates how New York State calculates payment rates for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which provide primary care in underserved communities. It changes the rate calculation method: through 2025, rates use the Medicare Economic Index, and after 2025, they use a federal cost adjustment formula (FQHC Market Basket inflator) adjusted for service scope. The state health department must analyze actual FQHC costs every three years starting in 2025 to set updated rates, ensuring payments reflect real costs while guaranteeing no facility receives a rate lower than the 2025 level. This directly affects FQHCs by potentially increasing their state-funded payments based on verified operational expenses.
