New York proposed to amend its Medicaid section 1115 demonstration, also known as the New York Medicaid Redesign Team (MRFFCRAT) waiver.
The amendment seeks to implement a 30-month transfer of assets lookback period for coverage of community-based long-term care (CBLTC) services, and approval to exclude certain enrollees from these rules. This is similar to the current 60 month look back period for institutional based (nursing home and assisted living) Medicaid benefits. Currently, New York does not consider assets transferred in determining eligibility for community based long-term care services.
