7 ing the effective date of the Part, which makes a reference to a section

20 able enrollment period and to maintain such enrollment. This requirement
21 shall be waived if such enrollment would result in significant addi-
22 tional financial liability by the participant, including, but not limit-
23 ed to, individuals in a Medicare advantage plan whose cost sharing would
24 be increased, or if such enrollment would result in the loss of any
25 health coverage through a union or employer plan for the participant,

35 which such agency establishes under its de minimus premium policy,
36 except that such payments made on behalf of participants enrolled in a
37 Medicare advantage plan may exceed the low-income benchmark premium
38 amount if determined to be cost effective to the program.
39 (ii) for participants with catastrophic coverage under section two
40 hundred forty-eight of this title, the elderly pharmaceutical insurance
41 coverage program shall credit the participant's annual personal covered
42 drug expenditure amount required under this title by an amount equal to
43 the annual low-income benchmark premium amount established by the

49 title of their right to coordinate the annual coverage period with that
50 of Medicare part D, along with the possible advantages and disadvantages
51 of doing so.]

1 OF HEALTH shall determine or cause to be determined, through a statis-
2 tically valid survey, the quantities of each covered drug that partic-
3 ipating provider pharmacies buy most frequently. Using the result of
4 this survey, the contractor shall update every thirty days the list of
5 average wholesale prices upon which such reimbursement is determined
6 using nationally recognized and most recently revised sources. Such
7 price revisions shall be made available to all participating provider
8 pharmacies. The pharmacist shall be reimbursed based on the price in
9 effect at the time the covered drug is dispensed.
10 3. [(a) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the program
11 for elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage shall reimburse for
12 covered drugs which are dispensed under the program by a provider phar-
13 macy only pursuant to the terms of a rebate agreement between the
14 program and the manufacturer (as defined under section 1927 of the
15 federal social security act) of such covered drugs; provided, however,
16 that:
17 (1) any agreement between the program and a manufacturer entered into
18 before August first, nineteen hundred ninety-one, shall be deemed to
19 have been entered into on April first, nineteen hundred ninety-one; and
20 provided further, that if a manufacturer has not entered into an agree-
21 ment with the department before August first, nineteen hundred ninety-
22 one, such agreement shall not be effective until April first, nineteen
23 hundred ninety-two, unless such agreement provides that rebates will be
24 retroactively calculated as if the agreement had been in effect on April
25 first, nineteen hundred ninety-one; and
26 (2) the program may reimburse for any covered drugs pursuant to subdi-
27 visions one and two of this section, for which a rebate agreement does
28 not exist and which are determined by the elderly pharmaceutical insur-
29 ance coverage panel to be essential to the health of persons participat-
30 ing in the program; and likely to provide effective therapy or diagnosis
31 for a disease not adequately treated or diagnosed by any other covered
32 drug; and which are recommended for reimbursement by the panel and
33 approved by the commissioner of health.
34 (b) The rebate agreement between such manufacturer and the program for
35 elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage shall utilize for covered
36 drugs the identical formula used to determine the rebate for federal
37 financial participation for drugs, pursuant to section 1927(c) of the
38 federal social security act, to determine the amount of the rebate
39 pursuant to this subdivision.
40 (c) The amount of rebate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subdivision
41 shall be calculated by multiplying the required rebate formulas by the
42 total number of units of each dosage form and strength dispensed. The
43 rebate agreement shall also provide for periodic payment of the rebate,
44 provision of information to the program, audits, verification of data,
45 damages to the program for any delay or non-production of necessary data
46 by the manufacturer and for the confidentiality of information.

48 provided for under section 1927 (b) of the federal social security act)
49 shall provide such data by zip code, if requested, for the top three
50 hundred most commonly used drugs by volume covered under a rebate agree-
51 ment.
52 (e) Any funds collected pursuant to any rebate agreements entered into
53 with a manufacturer pursuant to this subdivision, shall be deposited
54 into the elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage program premium
55 account.

14 persons, list the copayment or other payment obligations of the insured
15 persons applicable to the pharmaceutical coverage, and (after receiving

17 would have paid for the pharmaceutical claims for those identified indi-
18 viduals and the entity shall reimburse EPIC for pharmaceutical expenses
19 paid by EPIC that are covered under the contract between the entity and
20 its insured in only those instances where the entity has not already
21 made payment of the claim. Reimbursement of the net amount payable
22 (after rebates and discounts) that would have been paid under the cover-
23 age issued by the entity will be made by the entity to EPIC within sixty
24 days of receipt from EPIC of the standard data in electronic format
25 necessary for the entity to adjudicate the claim and if the standard
26 data is provided to the entity by EPIC in paper format payment by the
27 entity shall be made within one hundred eighty days. After completing
28 at least one match process with EPIC in electronic format, an entity
29 shall be entitled to elect a monthly or bi-monthly match process rather
30 than a semi-annual match process.

35 payment of claims. The [panel] COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH may select an

42 program.
43 [6. (a)] 5. The EPIC program shall be the payor of last resort for
44 individuals qualified in both the EPIC program and title XVIII of the
45 federal social security act (Medicare). [For such individuals, no
46 reimbursement shall be available under EPIC for covered drug expenses
47 except:
48 (i) where a prescription drug plan authorized by Part D of the federal
49 social security act (referred to in this subdivision as a Medicare Part
50 D plan) has approved coverage and EPIC has an obligation under this
51 title to pay a portion of the participant's cost-sharing responsibility
52 under Medicare Part D; or
53 (ii) where the provider pharmacy has certified that a Medicare Part D
54 plan has denied coverage.
55 (b) If the provider pharmacy certifies as set forth in subparagraph
56 (ii) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the EPIC program shall pay
S. 2809--A 12 A. 4009--A

7 S 18. Section 40 of chapter 266 of the laws of 1986, amending the
8 civil practice law and rules and other laws relating to malpractice and
9 professional medical conduct, as amended by chapter 216 of the laws of
10 2009, is amended to read as follows:
11 S 40. The superintendent of insurance shall establish rates for poli-
12 cies providing coverage for physicians and surgeons medical malpractice
13 for the periods commencing July 1, 1985 and ending June 30, [2011] 2014;
14 provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
15 superintendent shall not establish or approve any increase in rates for
16 the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2010. The super-
17 intendent shall direct insurers to establish segregated accounts for
18 premiums, payments, reserves and investment income attributable to such
19 premium periods and shall require periodic reports by the insurers
20 regarding claims and expenses attributable to such periods to monitor
21 whether such accounts will be sufficient to meet incurred claims and
22 expenses. On or after July 1, 1989, the superintendent shall impose a
23 surcharge on premiums to satisfy a projected deficiency that is attrib-
24 utable to the premium levels established pursuant to this section for
25 such periods; provided, however, that such annual surcharge shall not
26 exceed eight percent of the established rate until July 1, [2011] 2014,
27 at which time and thereafter such surcharge shall not exceed twenty-five
28 percent of the approved adequate rate, and that such annual surcharges
29 shall continue for such period of time as shall be sufficient to satisfy
30 such deficiency. The superintendent shall not impose such surcharge
31 during the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2010. On
32 and after July 1, 1989, the surcharge prescribed by this section shall
33 be retained by insurers to the extent that they insured physicians and
34 surgeons during the July 1, 1985 through June 30, [2011] 2014 policy
35 periods; in the event and to the extent physicians and surgeons were
36 insured by another insurer during such periods, all or a pro rata share
37 of the surcharge, as the case may be, shall be remitted to such other
38 insurer in accordance with rules and regulations to be promulgated by
39 the superintendent. Surcharges collected from physicians and surgeons
40 who were not insured during such policy periods shall be apportioned
41 among all insurers in proportion to the premium written by each insurer
42 during such policy periods; if a physician or surgeon was insured by an
43 insurer subject to rates established by the superintendent during such
44 policy periods, and at any time thereafter a hospital, health mainte-
45 nance organization, employer or institution is responsible for respond-
46 ing in damages for liability arising out of such physician's or
47 surgeon's practice of medicine, such responsible entity shall also remit
48 to such prior insurer the equivalent amount that would then be collected
49 as a surcharge if the physician or surgeon had continued to remain
50 insured by such prior insurer. In the event any insurer that provided
51 coverage during such policy periods is in liquidation, the
52 property/casualty insurance security fund shall receive the portion of
53 surcharges to which the insurer in liquidation would have been entitled.
54 The surcharges authorized herein shall be deemed to be income earned for
55 the purposes of section 2303 of the insurance law. The superintendent,
56 in establishing adequate rates and in determining any projected defi-
S. 2809--A 87 A. 4009--A
1 ciency pursuant to the requirements of this section and the insurance
2 law, shall give substantial weight, determined in his discretion and
3 judgment, to the prospective anticipated effect of any regulations
4 promulgated and laws enacted and the public benefit of stabilizing
5 malpractice rates and minimizing rate level fluctuation during the peri-
6 od of time necessary for the development of more reliable statistical
7 experience as to the efficacy of such laws and regulations affecting
8 medical, dental or podiatric malpractice enacted or promulgated in 1985,
9 1986, by this act and at any other time. Notwithstanding any provision
10 of the insurance law, rates already established and to be established by
11 the superintendent pursuant to this section are deemed adequate if such
12 rates would be adequate when taken together with the maximum authorized
13 annual surcharges to be imposed for a reasonable period of time whether
14 or not any such annual surcharge has been actually imposed as of the
15 establishment of such rates.

46 commissioner by the difference between the reconciled capital related
47 inpatient expenses included in rates of payment determined in accordance
48 with paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this subdivision for such prior year
49 and capital related inpatient expenses for such prior year calculated
50 [based on a determination of costs related to services provided to bene-
