Full Legal Analysis

The bill requires the New York Department of Health to establish a Medicaid identification and anti-fraud biometric technology program. This program mandates the use of biometric technology for verifying the identities of Medicaid recipients and providers at healthcare facilities and pharmacies. The bill outlines provisions for emergency services and alternative identification methods for individuals unable to provide biometric data. Key definitions include 'biometric technology' and 'biometric verification device,' which are crucial for understanding the scope of the program. The bill emphasizes the need for the program to be revenue neutral from inception, offsetting costs with Medicaid savings, and cost-neutral to providers, offsetting provider costs with savings. Additionally, the request for proposals must be published by January 15, 2013, and proposals opened by March 1, 2013.
