                                              Specific Issues and areas of concern:
                                              1. S3865A CHP – non payment of factor in an outpatient setting.
                                              2. S5849 Exchanges – ensuring that NY will have adequate coverage in their insurance exchanges scheduled to start coverage 2014.
                                              3. Medicaid Redesign – currently factor is carved out of Medicaid Managed Care, but NYS Medicaid desires to have it covered under the Managed Care providers (not good for PHS or for profit providers).
                                              4. Skilled Nursing Facility Access.
