§ 30:4d-7m.

Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, a health maintenance

organization that contracts with the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services

in the Department of Human Services to provide benefits under a managed care plan

to persons who are eligible for Medicaid shall not reduce reimbursement rates for

personal care assistant services or home based supportive care services, as those

services are defined by regulation or in the contract with the division, under the

health maintenance organization's Medicaid managed care plan, unless the health maintenance

organization notifies the division, in writing, at least 90 days before the effective

date of such changes. Such notice shall be accompanied by written assurance that the reduction will not

reduce sufficient provider access or quality of service as required by the contract

with the division.
