A work group tasked with redesigning benefits under New York State's Medicaid program has recommended the program stop reimbursing treatments which lack evidence supporting their efficacy, according to a Crain's New York Business report.
The Medicaid Redesign Team yesterday recommended the coverage changes for 10 current covered treatments — ranging from knee arthroscopies to elective percutaneous coronary interventions and elective C-sections for women who are less than 39 weeks pregnant.
The recommendations will be sent to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo for consideration later this month.
