Effective immediately, coding has been simplified for prior approval issues which are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health. Due to restructuring within that agency, the Office of Medicaid Management (OMM) will have responsibility for preparing waiver requests and summaries or otherwise appearing at hearings, pertaining to prior approval issues. This office, previously known as the Office of Health Systems Management (OHSM), has agreed to distribute Notices of Request (DSS 1891s), Notices of Scheduling (DSS 457s), Adjournments, Redirects, and Decisions after Hearing to their regional offices in New York City, New Rochelle, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo, previously identified by secondary agency codes, HSM2, HSM3, HSM4, HSM5, and HSM6, respectively.
This coding will generate notification to the:
NYS Department of Health
Office of Medicaid Management
Bureau of Medicaid Review and Evaluation, Suite 800
