The purpose of this transmittal is to notify you of two significant changes that will impact your agency. The first change is the transfer of responsibility for the Medicaid program from the Department of Social Services to the Department of Health. The Division of Health and Long Term Care (H<C), is now the Office of Medicaid Management within the New York State Department of Health. As part of the transition, official communications, such as this Local Commissioner's Memorandum, will continue to be transmitted by the Department of Social Services until such time as the Office of Medicaid Management establishes its own procedures.
