Maddy summaryThis bill simplifies Medicaid enrollment and recertification for eligible New Yorkers. It automatically enrolls people needing long-term community care for over 120 days into a managed care plan (without requiring them to choose one), and automatically renews coverage for four specific groups: those in managed long-term care plans, recipients of personal care services, seniors with Social Security income in the Aged, Blind and Disabled category, and Medicare Savings Program participants.
