 Committee on Health -- committee discharged, bill amended, ordered

 AN ACT directing the department of health to establish an alternative
 payment methodology (APM) for federally qualified health centers to
 preserve and improve patient access to fertility care

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Under the authority of state plan amendment #17-0058, as
 2 amended by state plan amendment #23-0050, the department of health shall
 3 establish an alternative payment methodology (APM) for federally quali-
 4 fied health centers to preserve and improve patient access to fertility
 5 care. Any payments made under the APM shall be in addition to any
 6 payments made under the prospective payment system (PPS) or any other
 7 alternative payment methodology for federally qualified health centers.
 8 The APM shall provide for payments, in an amount not to exceed seven
 9 hundred thousand dollars state share annually, exclusive of any federal
 10 matching funds, to be made by the department of health to federally
 11 qualified health centers in an amount equal to the difference between
 12 (a) the aggregate amount the federally qualified health center paid to
 13 acquire eligible injectable fertility drugs for Medicaid patients under
 14 section 340B of the federal public health services act between January
 15 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and (b) the aggregate amount the federally
 16 qualified health center would have paid to acquire those drugs based on
 17 average wholesale acquisition cost for such drugs during the same peri-
 18 od. For purposes of this section, eligible injectable fertility drugs
 19 shall be limited to gonadotropin, GNRH antagonists, and GNRH agonists;
 20 provided however that nothing contained herein shall require coverage
 21 for additional drugs or in-vitro fertilization other than those listed
 22 here.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
