Directs 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

Summary

The bill requires the New York Department of Health to create an alternative payment method that reimburses federally qualified health centers for the difference between what they actually pay for certain injectable fertility drugs and the average wholesale price. Up to $700,000 in state funds each year (plus any federal match) can be used, improving access to fertility care for Medicaid recipients. The measure takes effect immediately but is still pending committee review.
