   34  federal  centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and any other amount
   35  which such agency establishes  under  its  de  minimus  premium  policy,

   37  Medicare advantage plan may  exceed  the  low-income  benchmark  premium
   38  amount if determined to be cost effective to the program.

   42  drug expenditure amount required under this title by an amount equal  to
   43  the  annual  low-income  benchmark  premium  amount  established  by the
   44  centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, prorated for  the  remaining
   45  portion  of  the participant's elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage

    1  of  the  federal social security act by either applying for such subsidy
    2  or by enrolling in a medicare savings program as  a  qualified  medicare
    3  beneficiary  (QMB),  a specified low-income medicare beneficiary (SLMB),
    4  or  a  qualifying  individual (QI), a program participant is required to
    5  provide, and to authorize the elderly pharmaceutical insurance  coverage
    6  program  to  obtain, any information or documentation required to estab-
    7  lish the participant's eligibility for such subsidy,  and  to  authorize
    8  the elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage program to apply on behalf
    9  of  the participant for the subsidy or the medicare savings program. The
   10  elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage program shall make  a  reason-
   11  able  effort  to  notify  the  program participant of his or her need to
   12  provide any of the above required information. After a reasonable effort
   13  has been made to contact the participant, a participant shall  be  noti-
   14  fied  in  writing that he or she has sixty days to provide such required
   15  information. If such information is not provided within  the  sixty  day
   16  period, the participant's coverage may be terminated.
   17    (f)  As a condition of [continued] eligibility for benefits under this
   18  title, [if] a program participant is [eligible for Medicare part D  drug
   19  coverage  under  section  1860D  of the federal social security act, the
   20  participant is] required to [enroll] BE ENROLLED in Medicare part D  [at
   21  the  first available enrollment period] and to maintain such enrollment.
   22  [This requirement shall be waived if such  enrollment  would  result  in
   23  significant  additional  financial liability by the participant, includ-
   24  ing, but not limited to, individuals in a Medicare advantage plan  whose
   25  cost  sharing  would be increased, or if such enrollment would result in
   26  the loss of any health coverage through a union or employer plan for the
   27  participant, the participant's spouse or other dependent.   The  elderly
   28  pharmaceutical  insurance coverage program shall provide premium assist-
   29  ance for all participants enrolled in Medicare part D as follows:
   30    (i) for participants with comprehensive  coverage  under  section  two
   31  hundred  forty-seven of this title, the elderly pharmaceutical insurance
   32  coverage program shall pay for the portion of the part D monthly premium
   33  that is the responsibility of the participant.  Such  payment  shall  be
   34  limited  to  the  low-income benchmark premium amount established by the
   35  federal centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and any other  amount
   36  which  such  agency  establishes  under  its  de minimus premium policy,
   37  except that such payments made on behalf of participants enrolled  in  a
   38  Medicare  advantage  plan  may  exceed  the low-income benchmark premium
   39  amount if determined to be cost effective to the program.
   40    (ii) for participants with catastrophic  coverage  under  section  two
   41  hundred  forty-eight of this title, the elderly pharmaceutical insurance
   42  coverage program shall credit the participant's annual personal  covered
   43  drug  expenditure amount required under this title by an amount equal to
   44  the annual  low-income  benchmark  premium  amount  established  by  the
   45  centers  for  Medicare and Medicaid services, prorated for the remaining
   46  portion of the participant's elderly pharmaceutical  insurance  coverage
   47  program  coverage  period. The elderly pharmaceutical insurance coverage
   48  program  shall,  at  appropriate   times,   notify   participants   with
   49  catastrophic  coverage  under  section  two  hundred forty-seven of this
   50  title of their right to coordinate the annual coverage period with  that
   51  of Medicare part D, along with the possible advantages and disadvantages
   52  of doing so.]

   34  the total level of participant enrollment achieved, the volume of claims
   35  processed, and such other factors as may be relevant in order to contain

   35  this  survey,  the contractor shall update every thirty days the list of
   36  average wholesale prices upon which  such  reimbursement  is  determined
   37  using  nationally  recognized  and  most  recently revised sources. Such

   39  pharmacies.  The  pharmacist  shall  be reimbursed based on the price in
   40  effect at the time the covered drug is dispensed.

   42  for  elderly  pharmaceutical  insurance  coverage  shall  reimburse  for
   43  covered  drugs which are dispensed under the program by a provider phar-
   44  macy only pursuant to the  terms  of  a  rebate  agreement  between  the
   45  program  and  the  manufacturer  (as  defined  under section 1927 of the

   52  ment  with  the department before August first, nineteen hundred ninety-
   53  one, such agreement shall not be effective until April  first,  nineteen
   54  hundred  ninety-two, unless such agreement provides that rebates will be

   56  first, nineteen hundred ninety-one; and

    1    (2) the program may reimburse for any covered drugs pursuant to subdi-
    2  visions one and two of this section, for which a rebate  agreement  does
    3  not  exist and which are determined by the elderly pharmaceutical insur-
    4  ance coverage panel to be essential to the health of persons participat-
    5  ing in the program; and likely to provide effective therapy or diagnosis
    6  for  a  disease not adequately treated or diagnosed by any other covered
    7  drug; and which are recommended  for  reimbursement  by  the  panel  and
    8  approved by the commissioner of health.
    9    (b) The rebate agreement between such manufacturer and the program for
   10  elderly  pharmaceutical  insurance  coverage  shall  utilize for covered
   11  drugs the identical formula used to determine  the  rebate  for  federal
   12  financial  participation  for  drugs, pursuant to section 1927(c) of the
   13  federal social security act, to  determine  the  amount  of  the  rebate
   14  pursuant to this subdivision.
   15    (c) The amount of rebate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subdivision
   16  shall  be  calculated by multiplying the required rebate formulas by the
   17  total number of units of each dosage form and  strength  dispensed.  The
   18  rebate  agreement shall also provide for periodic payment of the rebate,
   19  provision of information to the program, audits, verification  of  data,
   20  damages to the program for any delay or non-production of necessary data
   21  by the manufacturer and for the confidentiality of information.

   23  provided for under section 1927 (b) of the federal social security  act)
   24  shall  provide  such  data  by zip code, if requested, for the top three
   25  hundred most commonly used drugs by volume covered under a rebate agree-
   26  ment.
   27    (e) Any funds collected pursuant to any rebate agreements entered into
   28  with a manufacturer pursuant to this  subdivision,  shall  be  deposited
   29  into  the  elderly  pharmaceutical  insurance  coverage  program premium
   30  account.
   31    4.] Notwithstanding any other provision of law, entities  which  offer
   32  insurance  coverage for provision of and/or reimbursement for pharmaceu-
   33  tical   expenses,   including   but    not    limited    to,    entities

   40  insured  to identify individuals enrolled in both plans with claims paid
   41  within the twenty-four months preceding the date the entity receives the
   42  match request information from EPIC. Such entity shall indicate if phar-
   43  maceutical coverage  is  available  from  the  entity  for  the  insured
   44  persons,  list the copayment or other payment obligations of the insured
   45  persons applicable to the pharmaceutical coverage, and (after  receiving
   46  necessary claim information from EPIC) list the amounts which the entity
   47  would have paid for the pharmaceutical claims for those identified indi-
   48  viduals  and the entity shall reimburse EPIC for pharmaceutical expenses
   49  paid by EPIC that are covered under the contract between the entity  and
   50  its  insured  in  only  those instances where the entity has not already
   51  made payment of the claim.  Reimbursement  of  the  net  amount  payable
   52  (after rebates and discounts) that would have been paid under the cover-
   53  age issued by the entity will be made by the entity to EPIC within sixty

   27  ble by, or the amount computed to the credit of, such clinical laborato-
   28  ry  or  blood  bank,  computed on the basis of the above stated formula,

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

   14    3. By September 15, 1996, for each regional group the commissioner  of
   15  health shall calculate the base period medicaid revenue percentage.
   16    4.  (a)  For  each  regional  group,  the 1996 target medicaid revenue
   17  percentage shall be calculated by subtracting the 1996 medicaid  revenue
   18  reduction percentages from the base period medicaid revenue percentages.
   19  The  1996  medicaid  revenue  reduction  percentage, taking into account
   20  regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare

   29  the upstate region.
   30    (b) For 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,  2005,  2006,  2007,
   31  2008,  2009,  2010  [and], 2011, 2012, AND 2013 for each regional group,
   32  the target medicaid revenue percentage for the respective year shall  be
   33  calculated   by  subtracting  the  respective  year's  medicaid  revenue
   34  reduction percentage from the base period medicaid  revenue  percentage.
   35  The  medicaid  revenue reduction percentages for 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001,
   36  2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 [and], 2011,  2012,
   37  AND  2013 taking into account regional and program differences in utili-
   38  zation of medicaid and medicare services,  for  the  following  regional
   39  groups shall be equal to for each such year:
   40    (i)  one  and one-tenth percentage points for CHHAs located within the
   41  downstate region;
   42    (ii) six-tenths of one percentage point for CHHAs located  within  the

   45  in the downstate region; and
   46    (iv) one and seven-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located within
   47  the upstate region.
   48    (c) For each regional group, the 1999 target medicaid revenue percent-
   49  age  shall  be  calculated  by  subtracting  the  1999  medicaid revenue
   50  reduction percentage from the base period medicaid  revenue  percentage.
   51  The  1999  medicaid  revenue  reduction percentages, taking into account
   52  regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare
   53  services, for the following regional groups shall be equal to:
   54    (i) eight hundred twenty-five thousandths  (.825)  of  one  percentage
   55  point for CHHAs located within the downstate region;
       S. 2809                            103                           A. 4009
    1    (ii)  forty-five  hundredths  (.45)  of one percentage point for CHHAs
    2  located within the upstate region;
    3    (iii)  one  and  thirty-five  hundredths  percentage points (1.35) for
    4  LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and

    6  (1.275) for LTHHCPs located within the upstate region.
    7    5.  (a) For each regional group, if the 1996 medicaid revenue percent-
    8  age is not equal to or  less  than  the  1996  target  medicaid  revenue
    9  percentage,  the  commissioner of health shall compare the 1996 medicaid
   10  revenue percentage to the 1996 target  medicaid  revenue  percentage  to
   11  determine  the  amount  of the shortfall which, when divided by the 1996
   12  medicaid  revenue  reduction  percentage,  shall  be  called  the   1996
   13  reduction  factor.  These  amounts, expressed as a percentage, shall not
   14  exceed one hundred percent. If the 1996 medicaid revenue  percentage  is
   15  equal  to  or less than the 1996 target medicaid revenue percentage, the
   16  1996 reduction factor shall be zero.
   17    (b) For 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,  2004,  2005,  2006,
   18  2007,  2008,  2009,  2010  [and], 2011, 2012, AND 2013 for each regional
   19  group, if the medicaid revenue percentage for the respective year is not
   20  equal to or less than the target medicaid revenue  percentage  for  such
   21  respective  year,  the commissioner of health shall compare such respec-
   22  tive year's medicaid revenue percentage to such respective year's target
   23  medicaid revenue percentage to determine the  amount  of  the  shortfall
   24  which,  when divided by the respective year's medicaid revenue reduction
   25  percentage, shall be called the reduction  factor  for  such  respective
   26  year.  These  amounts,  expressed  as a percentage, shall not exceed one
   27  hundred percent. If the medicaid revenue  percentage  for  a  particular
   28  year is equal to or less than the target medicaid revenue percentage for
   29  that year, the reduction factor for that year shall be zero.
   30    6.  (a)  For  each  regional group, the 1996 reduction factor shall be
   31  multiplied by the following amounts to determine each  regional  group's
   32  applicable 1996 state share reduction amount:
   33    (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
   34  CHHAs located within the downstate region;
   35    (ii) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for CHHAs located
   36  within the upstate region;

   40  located within the upstate region.
   41    For  each regional group reduction, if the 1996 reduction factor shall
   42  be zero, there shall be no 1996 state share reduction amount.
   43    (b) For 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,  2005,  2006,  2007,
   44  2008,  2009,  2010  [and], 2011, 2012, AND 2013 for each regional group,
   45  the reduction factor for the respective year shall be multiplied by  the
   46  following  amounts  to  determine each regional group's applicable state
   47  share reduction amount for such respective year:
   48    (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
   49  CHHAs located within the downstate region;

    1    For each regional group reduction,  if  the  reduction  factor  for  a
    2  particular  year  shall be zero, there shall be no state share reduction
    3  amount for such year.
    4    (c) For each regional group, the 1999 reduction factor shall be multi-
    5  plied by the following amounts to determine each regional group's appli-
    6  cable 1999 state share reduction amount:
    7    (i) one million seven hundred ninety-two thousand five hundred dollars
    8  ($1,792,500) for CHHAs located within the downstate region;

   16  be zero, there shall be no 1999 state share reduction amount.
   17    7.  (a) For each regional group, the 1996 state share reduction amount
   18  shall be allocated by the commissioner of health among CHHAs and LTHHCPs
   19  on the basis of the extent  of  each  CHHA's  and  LTHHCP's  failure  to
   20  achieve  the  1996  target  medicaid revenue percentage, calculated on a
   21  provider specific basis utilizing revenues for this  purpose,  expressed
   22  as  a  proportion  of  the  total of each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to
   23  achieve the 1996 target medicaid revenue percentage within the  applica-
   24  ble  regional group. This proportion shall be multiplied by the applica-
   25  ble 1996 state share reduction amount calculation pursuant to  paragraph
   26  (a)  of  subdivision  6 of this section. This amount shall be called the
   27  1996 provider specific state share reduction amount.

   35  expressed as a proportion of the total of each CHHA's and LTHHCP's fail-
   36  ure to achieve the target medicaid revenue percentage for the applicable
   37  year within the applicable regional  group.  This  proportion  shall  be
   38  multiplied  by the applicable year's state share reduction amount calcu-
   39  lation pursuant to paragraph  (b)  or  (c)  of  subdivision  6  of  this
   40  section.  This  amount shall be called the provider specific state share
   41  reduction amount for the applicable year.
   42    8. (a) The 1996 provider specific state share reduction  amount  shall
   43  be due to the state from each CHHA and LTHHCP and may be recouped by the
