Part II of chapter 57 of the Laws of 2023 amended the Public Health Law to improve access to behavioral health services in this State. Public Health Law 4403(5)(b), as added by Subpart F of Part II, requires the commissioner, in consultation with the Superintendent of Financial Services, the commissioner of the Office of Mental Health, and the commissioner of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports, to propose regulations setting forth standards for network adequacy for mental health and substance use disorder treatment services, including sub-acute care in a residential facility, assertive community treatment services, critical time intervention services, and mobile crisis intervention services. Subpart A of Part II establishes the effective date for coverage of sub-acute care in a residential facility, assertive community treatment services, critical time intervention services, and mobile crisis intervention services. This Subpart implements the requirements of Public Health Law 4403(5)(b), as amended by Subpart F of part II of chapter 57 of the Laws of 2023, and the requirements of Subpart A Part II by establishing network adequacy and access standards and other protections to improve access to behavioral health services.
