Restraining Order Adds New Setback to Beleaguered CDPAP Overhaul in NY

Healthcare attorney Nili Yolin was mentioned in a Home Health Care News article about the recent temporary restraining order (TRO) that halts the New York State Department of Health's overhaul of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) to transition to a single fiscal intermediary (FI). The order prevents enforcement against fiscal intermediaries not yet registered with the state's chosen partner, Public Partnerships (PPL). Ms. Yolin noted the complexity of the issues involved.

"The law has come under fire from so many stakeholders – obviously from FIs, but also from consumers, caregivers and managed care plans," she said. "...[M]ost people want to know if the entire consolidation will be declared unconstitutional, and I just don't have the crystal ball to predict that."

Ms. Yolin also published a Holland & Knight Healthcare Blog on this topic.
