Public Health and Health Planning Council
On Friday, September 30th, of the Public Health and Health Planning Council (“PHHPC”) released its respective agendas for the October 6th PHHPC Codes Committee meeting and the full October 6th PHHPC meeting. Absent from both agendas were the proposed regulations drafted by the DOH to implement the provisions of Public Health Law §§ 2828 and 2895-b, which would impose minimum spending and staffing mandates on nursing homes retroactive to January 1, 2022. NYSHFA is actively challenging the proposed regulations given their failure to acknowledge the current healthcare staffing shortages and unprecedented financial challenges confronting nursing homes throughout New York State. In addition to our federal litigation and other proactive initiatives, NYSHFA has spearheaded a letter writing campaign directed at PHHPC for providers throughout the State to actively oppose these proposed regulations. NYSHFA will continue to keep members updated on these critical issues.
